Been shopping around a little bit lately and can't seem to find a good website for used boats. I know there's a section on here and have been looking at it but it doesn't get a whole lot of traffic. Also, Craigslist is sketchy and pretty much only has junkers anyway. I've heard there are some good Facebook groups but can't seem to find any good ones. Any recommendations?

Just to clarify, I'm not in the market yet so personal ads will probably be overlooked.

At the moment I'm not looking for anything really. Just trying to start the search now so I can get a realistic price range to save for. I'm hoping to buy sometime in the winter.

But a late 90s/early '00s fiberglass boat is probably what I'll be looking st.

That's what I've been hearing. Do you know of any groups that seem to be better than others? Also ones specific to Texas would be nice because I'm on a few and 90% of the boats are across the country.

Fact! Boats are way more expensive in Texas. Buy from a nearby state and save a ton.

I've been watching this one lately as I'm in the market as well. It seems to have the most.
