BOAT BUYING AND SELLING
Before buying a used boat, ask for service records, confirm what is included in the asking price and arrange a viewing. Consider an independent marine survey to assess its condition. Plan for berthing, storage and transport, as well as any work or equipment the boat may need.
To sell your boat, show buyers clear photographs and provide accurate specifications, an honest condition description and the current asking price. Explain what is included and where the boat can be viewed. Use the dedicated categories for boat engines, trailers, marina berths and marine equipment when advertising these separately.
