I plan on advertising my boat for sale. In addition to this website, Boat Trader Online, and Powerboat Listings, what are other good websites to list a boat for sale? Also are there any good publications? I've used the Boat Trader before for smaller boats with good results

OSO sold my boat from one side of the country to the other.
Also, pretty much how I bought my new boat, from one side of the country... to the other.

I would think OSO would be my first choice, Boat Trader second as it comes out more often and is more "up to date" than the major publications. If you have any "hangouts" that offshore types frequent, see if you can post a flyer. Good Luck.

I have my listed with both OSO & Powerboatlistings.com, both have generated more calls for me than anything else. The more the exposure, the better. Just write down where you put the ads or you'll be getting notifications for months to come.
Also, very important, you also might want to get a disposable email address. Many of the sites don't protect your email from showing up for spider and spam bots to harvest.
