Have you checked craigslist lately? Wow, everyone and their brother is selling a boat! I've never seen such an overflow of boats that no one wants. I guess it's due to the economy.
I wish I had the extra money to go get one because it is like that where I live too, unfortunately people are getting rid of anything that is an extra expense and that is one of them.
I have been seeing some boats for free. You have to come with a trailer and are not in the best of shape. But there was a beauty of a cabin cruiser one day. If I had a trailer, money and time to fix it up, I would have taken it.
