Any recommendations on the best web sites for locating a used boat to buy…I guess the most important factor is volume of boats listed. I’m looking for a modest cruiser, (27’-35’) but you never know…after all I’m down to 3 boats and went out a total of 5 times last year, (average of 1.6 per boat)...I’m located in East Tennessee…thanks in advance.

Robert Nelems has a 1995 280SS Formula that he sold new and took in on trade for a new boat. I know this boat and it is in outstanding condition and I bet he would price it right.

Amy and I bought a '99 280 last year and have loved it ever since. Tremendous room, great cuddy and pottie for those too modest to pee off the back.

Look at nelems.com for pictures. He's in Jasper, Alabama which is about a hundred miles from Huntsville. Robert has a place on Smith Lake and can have the boat sitting in the water for you to test drive. He also has some beautiful newer boats which I make a point to steer clear of.

There's tons of places out there. The 2 largest ones seem to be.

Also Ebay of course.

You can also do a search on Google, Yahoo, etc. Enter the size and type of boat your looking for...and then start clicking. That's how I originally found my boat (long before it ended up on Ebay). The search will also end up leading you to a bunch of web sites selling boats.

Good luck.
