When it comes to selling your boat, we can tell you dozens of reasons why Boats.com is
the best place to do it.
Here are a few more, in the words of our customers.
John C, Clive, IA 2001 Lund l800 Pro-V SE Sold 4/1/2008
Advertising my Lund boat on Boats.com worked better than I expected. I listed the boat on a Sunday, had two leads the next day, one of which became the buyer of the boat. The buyer came from out of state to buy my boat. A newspaper classified ad would not have given me the exposure necessary to reach the person looking for my boat. I decided to advertise on Boats.com because I found and bought the boat I wanted to upgrade to on Boats.com. Thank you for being there. I recommend Boats.com and will advertise through you again in the future. Completely satisfied,
Bob S Looking for a Boat!! 3/31/2008
Thanks so much for the great info about used boat pricing guides and how to buy a used boat!!!
Ryan C, Gulf Shores, AL 2006 Caravelle 207LS BR Sold 3/29/2008
After I listed my boat I started to get worried because I saw that over 50 people had looked at my listing but not one of them called about the boat! Finally I got a call from a guy 8 hours away who eventually drove down here, we tested the boat, then he bought the boat and drove back. I would suggest this site to all my friends because it has the same exposure as all the other sites and is the most cost effective! Thank you!
John M, Mooresville, IN 2003 Ranger 185 VS Sold 3/24/2008
The ad I ran on your site did sell the boat for me. I sold to a buyer that was 400 miles away and the transaction worked out pretty good. I had the boat on Ebay for two runs and all I had was lookers and also had a scammer send out second chance offers for my boat. That was ridiculous. Any way, thanks and if I sell my new boat I will try your service again.
George L, Ridgedale, MO 2004 Chaparral Sunesta 212 Sold 3/23/2008
I sold my boat through Boats.com in less then two months during the off season. This was the only advertising I did and would recommend it to anyone. It was truly effortless.
Ryan R, Philadelphia, PA 1994 Sea Nymph TX 175 Pro Sold 2/11/2008
Your web site was great. It helped me sell the boat. To be able to track how many viewers were looking at it and to easily adjust the listing was excellent. I will recommend this site to others. THANKS
Steve M, Virginia Beach, VA 1999 Albemarle 242 CC Sold 1/25/2008
Thank you very much for your customer support. My boat has been sold in just one week on your site. I am extremely pleased with your web site. Please remove from the for sale site--thanks again, Steve
Les S, Ft Myers, FL 2001 Porta-Bote 12' Sold 12/5/2007
I listed with you and sold the boat in three days. Your setup is by far the most comprehensive and since you apparently have a library of facts on all the boats, you filled in stuff that I did not have to bother entering. Thanks.
Shawn O, Benton, AR 2000 Bayliner Capri DX/LX Sold 11/5/2007
I had exhausted local means including having local dealers trying to sell it. I figured I was going to have two boat payments all winter. So I thought I would try the internet. I looked at several companies but liked the look of Boats.com best and the special you were running convinced me to give it a try. (short story short: boat sold two weeks later) Next time Boats.com will not be the last resort but the first choice.
John G, Oyster Bay, NY 1988 Bayliner Capri Sold 11/5/2007
I sold my boat very fast . I had plenty of calls for a 19 year old boat. Thank you great service .john
Don L, Pewee Valley, KY 2005 Hurricane FunDeck GS 170 Sold 10/21/2007
Perfect! Everything was a snap? Very easy to sign-up, edit, modify, etc. My boat sold in less than three weeks. Thank you very much.
Phyllis R, Placida, FL 2006 Sea Hunt Triton 207 Sold 10/11/2007
Thank you for helping us sell our boat. We were contacted by a couple in Mississippi and discussed the boat. They drove 600 miles to veiw the boat and then purchased it. I believe we have also made new friends. We are planning a dinner at a half way point in the future.
John S., Chesterfiled, VA 2005 Sea Ray 200 Sundeck Sold 10/9/2007
I was very pleased with your service and have already recommended you to a neighbor who is selling a boat! Thanks!
Ron D, Beaverton, OR 2004 Larson LXi230 Sold 9/30/2007
I've finally sold my boat! I've had it listed for well over six months through local newspapers and having the boat at a local dealers showroom, but it was Boats.com that took the prize and was able to connect me with a buyer that was interested in purchasing the boat that I had. We both drove 250 plus miles to inspect the boat and take it for a test drive and then conclude the purchase. I have been able to revamp my ad's pictures and text numerous times and found that quite easy to do so long as I remembered my password. Boats.com was able to supply me with either verbal info or contact me through the internet when I needed further help. Thank You! Boats.com, without your website I would still be owning a second boat!
Don P, Shelbyville, IL 1995 Sea Ray 200 Sundeck Sold 9/24/2007
Thank you so much for your service on the internet. Even with boating season basically over in the midwest, we were able to sell our boat in less than 1 week! We will be sure to pass along your web address to our boating friends as they look to boat shop in the future.
John D, Manakin Sabot, VA 1987 Grady-White Seafarer 227 Sold 9/13/2007
Couldn't sell it in the Boat Trader, Boats.com got the job done! Thank You!
Price, Poulsbo, WA 2002 ACB Sold 9/8/2007
Thank you again. I will use Boats.com in the future. You are far superior to all of your competition. My favorite feature was the hits per last 28 days feature. I used that to adjust price on the boat and quadrupled my hits.
Will M, Galloway, NJ 2006 May-Craft 1800CC Sold 9/8/2007
Your service is awesome and I will be using it again.
Rob S, Silver Spring, MD 2002 260 Sundancer Sold 8/28/2007
It was an easy site to use and I was able to sell my boat using Boats.com as my only marketing tool. Thank you for your help.
Terry D, Maple Shade, NJ 2003 Triumph 210CC Sold 8/24/2007
Thank you for helping me sell my boat. My 2003 Triumph 210cc sold in one month with the help of your customer support crew. Ask for their advice! They know how to sell a boat! I will recommend Boats.com to anyone who wants to sell their boat. Thank you again.
Ed G, Blue Springs, MO 1989 VIP Vindicator Sold 8/19/2007
Good source. Simple to list. Satisfied with everything offered. Boat sold quickly. Will use again when selling another boat.
Debbie S., Mt Kisco, NY 1988 Sea Ray Amberjack Sold 08/15/2007
MY BOAT WAS SOLD IN ONE WEEK!!!! Thank you again! Your site is amazing! Boats.com proved to be a remarkable tool for me. First, I love the fact that I was able to locate a phone number on the site, call it and get a real live person. Being able to speak with her gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to actually post my ad. Without a live person, I would have been reluctant to use the site. Thanks to her, I was able to navigate my way through the site easily and post my ad. Also, I believe the tips & advice she gave me definitely helped me build an excellent, eye-catching ad. The fact that my boat sold IN ONE WEEK is testimony enough. The site is great - it has great sorting tools and lots of other little features that are amazing. Again, having the live person to speak with actually made me use your site. And I'm sure glad I did!
Donna G., Penn Yan, NY 2002 Larson Cabrio 220 Sold 08/13/2007
The exposure and help I received from Boats.com is what made the sale of my Larson boat. I experienced a little difficulty with the pictures in my listing but customer support was right there to guide me and the pictures were posted within the hour plus for the inconvenience, they added an additional 2 days to my listing. The exposure was incredible too. During the 19 days posted, I had 27,755 hits! The very first day of the listing, I began receiving inquiries by both email and calls. The buyer of the boat contacted me by email about 2 weeks into the listing and we corresponded back and forth with questions and answers and being able to post additional pictures added to the success of a long distance sale. I would use Boats.com again in a minute and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the site to others. THANKS TO ALL at Boats.com!!
Volker B, Green Cove Springs, FL 2002 Island Packet 380 Sold 8/13/2007
Hi, the boat is sold, closing on 8-13. The second couple who saw it bought it. They found it in response to your ad and phoned. E-mails and phone calls went back and forth for a month, the price was agreed upon before they saw it, a visit, haul out and survey followed, with a contract signed that day. Upon the next visit the deal was closed. The process took less than two month, without a broker. Thanks, it works.
Bob C., Kingston, ON 1978 C & C 30 Mega Sold 08/08/2007
I was amazed at the number of hits I received every month. I didn't get a lot of calls as my boat was a bit odd and would only attract people that knew the boat previously, which it did.I would certainly recommend your service to anyone.
Bill B., Delafield, WI 1998 Yamaha XL760 Sold 07/29/2007
I purchased an '05 Yamaha VX110 in April off your site. The transaction was very good & the seller brought the unit to me in Wisconsin as they were coming out on business. Additionally, I sold my Yamaha XL760 within 2 weeks of advertising it here to a Wisconsin resident. The transaction was very good & your summer special rate is very competitive. It is the main reason I chose to advertise with you.
Boss B., Brainerd, MN 1985 Bayliner Capri 1500 Sold 07/29/2007
Yes, I did sell my little Bayliner with the help of your website and I thank you for that. I needed to find a new home for my boat that was just sitting here waiting to be enjoyed. The correspondence ability on your website felt safe and easy to use. Thank You again and if I know of someone who wants to sell a boat I would certainly recommend you first and only. Thank You!
Grady H., Deerfield, IL 1996 Regal 23 Bowrider Sold 07/25/2007
My experience was better than expected. The sales rep who helped me write and place the ad was exceptional. In three days, I had two full price offers and the first buyer completed the sale. Thanks. I have now bought and sold a boat on Boats.com
Vince B., Lake in the Hills, IL 1995 Doral 300 MC Prestancia Sold 07/10/2007
I had my boat listed in the boat trader magazine and boat trader.com for one and half months and did not receive a call. I talked to Customer Support at Boats.com and they gave me some great advertising ideas and helped me through the set up procedure. Their expertise & some good pictures did the rest. I had the add listed for two weeks and received 10 calls on my boat. In those calls I received 4 offers and made the money I was looking for on my boat. The idea of letting the prospective buyers look at all those pictures really helped sell the boat. I have another boat I am selling and will definitely use Boats.com with the help of Customer Support to sell this boat.
Scott G., Basalt, CO 2001 Mastercraft X-Star Sold 07/05/2007
Boats.com was essential in the selling of my boat! Thank you for making it very easy to create the listing. I received approx. 25 inquiries over the past 4 months from all over the country and finally sold the boat to a family in Edmonton Canada! Thanks again.
Jerry & Dale M., Heubelton, NY 1977 Searunner Trimaran 37 Sold 06/29/2007
The sale of our boat was a DIRECT RESULT of the ad with Boats.com. We had it listed for two months and had several serious inquiries. I think the scrolling photos were eyecatching and set our ad apart. The searunner tri is a specialty boat with a small, but dedicated following so we were well pleased with the response to our ad.
Frank W., DePere, WI 1995 Cruisers 3175 Rogue Sold 06/27/2007
We ran our boat ad in the classified sections of two newspapers for 11 days with no calls. We listed with Boats.com and sold within 12 days.
Wayne, Hudson, WI 2005 Sea-Doo 180 Challenger Sold 06/26/2007
The service you have, fit our needs perfectly. The boat sold in two weeks. The best part is we did not have to pay the brokers fee of 10%. Great experience! Thanks!
Paul T, Freeport, NYI 2003 Sea Hunt Triton 186r Sold 6/15/2007
To All Who Make Boats.com Possible, This is the second time I have used your site to successfully sell a boat within a short period of time. Your site is well run, organized and easy to navigate. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy or sell. Have a wonderful & safe summer! Tight lines.
