I have seen and found many good boats just laying around unused and unkempt in back yards and open feilds.

I have learned over the years that a boat that is sitting in a yard unused can often times be bought very cheap simply cause the current owner is unwilling or unable to fix the boat.

You could check classified adds in the papers as well.

lasy l , would you prefer he sold it at a loss

you sir are a scam!!!

i will report ya, you hear me! or my name aint Lasy Lagoavich

My ex-husband does that. Just read the classified ads, and talk to people.
Another idea is go to boat dealers and see if you can buy their trade-ins at a good price.
