Greetings,
This is particularly directed toward the newbies who are in the market to buy and I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned before BUT I really think it bears repeating...
So, ya wanna buy a boat. You've read this thread: http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s3/boat-search-101-a-14905.html
and you scan all the usual internet sources (Yachtworld, Craig's list, Boat for Sale etc.) on a daily, perhaps hourly basis and can't quite seem to find what you're looking for.
You've gone to boat shows and perhaps gone to see a few interesting vessels. BUT, when you're at a marina, have you talked to any owners on the docks? Have you asked them or the marina owner if they know of anyone who is thinking of selling? Maybe that slightly neglected boat that the owner seldom visits? Can you get a contact number for that person?
I've heard of several boats that never make it to the market because someone hears about someone just thinking of selling...
I've noticed recently that there are a few members who have said they're looking and out of the blue, a first poster says..."I'm thinking of selling".
Just a few random thoughts. Perhaps worth adding to the boat search 101 thread...Perhaps not...
