Pro tip: Craigslist can be a weird place, so remember than sellers are qualifying you too! Most people want to see their boat going to a good home. We’ve both gotten and given great deals simply because we (or the buyer) were honest, upfront, friendly, and didn’t waste time.
Finding cheap boats for sale on Craigslist is a volume game more than anything. If you’re not carefully managing your time, it’s easy to burn out. If you’ve ever shown up to view a boat only to realize that the photos you saw online were 10 years old, then you know what I’m talking about! Here are a few ways we’ve cut down on time wasting:
That weird listing with spelling errors and no photos? Well, it could be a scam, or it could be a sweet deal on a fishing boat and a seller who doesn’t know how to use the internet! You’ll never know unless you email them. Same goes with sellers who don’t get back to you, send them a follow up email.
Hurricane season. If you’re open to looking further afield you can very often find good deals on storm damaged boats. A great book on this topic is Sailboat Cowboys Flipping Sail Post-Sandy: The Art of Buying, Repairing and Selling Storm-Damaged Sailboats. here
Finding a great deal on a boat is a numbers game, and we’ve looked at hundreds of listings before finding what we were looking for. Technology can help you save time and search more efficiently.
Be clear in your mind about what you’re looking for, especially if you plan to negotiate. If you’re looking for free boats on Craigslist, know that a “seller” is going to expect you to take care of all other costs. For example, if the boat needs to be transported by trailer or pulled out of the water. Have cash or another payment method ready so you can close the deal.
