I've notice one thing that most boat buyers have in common...and that is that we all want the most boat for our money. No big revelation there of course. But boaters all know that marine sales can render unbelievable deals. Unlike cars boat values are consistently inconsistent. They're also often difficult to value since so many factors can be included into the equation. So to really get a great deal on a boat...you almost need to find one for more than 20% under what you're local market offers. However, not too many dealers or boat owners are willing to discount their boat to that significantly.

Boat auctions aren't hard to figure out...the bottom line is that if you want to win and win big at auction you have to be patient, committed, and willing to put in the time necessary to find the cream puffs that everyone else over looks. Most aren't willing to do that and wouldn't know if one slapped 'em up side the head anyway. Repo boats offer buyers great opportunities if you have an open mind. If you have the mindset however that all repo auctions liquidate trash then it will become a self fulfilling prophecy. There is a lot of trash that gets auctioned off. But that's true of any auction and what you should accept in order to find a repossessed boat under valued by 60%!

Government agency auctions are typically free to view and you can do so online. You don't need to pay to view Government auctions! They're available online. And you can pre-inspect if you're willing to drive. Most of them are open to the public and available for viewing online. Gov't agencies. Sources like GSA and USMS are great places to start. But again Government agency auctions aren't the only source you'll want to peruse. There are too many options to consider which is why I tend to lean on auction services that aggregate and organize all that in advance.

Transparent marketplaces like Ebay or Government Liquidation are ok places to start as you might find marine equipment, accessories, parts, or small boats for auction. But there's typically only a small inventory available at any given time. Besides transparent market place like the above are ripe with bidders willing to pay more than retail if it's something specific they want or need. So be careful not to get to excited about high traffic auction sites.

Boat Auctions sources like Boat Auctions Direct aggregates auctions but screen folks from just waltzing in and browsing inventory. Sources like these present a small one-time access fee that thankfully discourages the tire kickers making services like these a great place to shop. I do encourage you to do is specify what it is you want so you aren't easily side tracked by some other shiny object. In fact many auction services will focus on the asset you're interested in specifically as opposed to offering every asset known to mankind. It's not free of course but wasting 2 to 3 hours finding a type of boat can be done in seconds with a few of the newer auction aggregation services.
