Unhappy boating classifieds

does anyone of any sites to find boats. I follow the ads on boat trader religiously, but too many of these boats are out of my price range. I am looking for an 87 and newer prostar 190, and all too often these boats are out of my teacher salary, and wife in college, income. any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to buy my first boat and know exactly what I want just don't want to spend the money for a completely refurbished model.

thanks

Try www.boattraderonline.com or Boats.com. Both to be excellent places to find boats. Boats.com has an email notification for the boats that you want to find. I found my Maristar on Boattraderonline last year. Check it out.

To me, this forum is about love of inboard boats. It is about the sharing of information and, on a good day, some humor. It is not about post count, brand of boat, or any other superfluous labels that lend themselves to a false sense of superiority. Please, respect one another, try to pass on accurate information, and keep your eye on the ball.

Smitty, there was a 205 on ebay recently with 80something hours
contact them to see if it sold
here is the link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2486238798

Oh and Loweb, I don't know if I'd mentioned it but.... I am selling my 190 for far less than Nada average!
Look on this site under "marketplace" or the ebay link in my signature

I was watching that one to see if it met the reserve. I would think that boat will go in the high 20's or low 30's and I'm trying to stay at 20k or a little more for the right boat.

Thanks though.
