west coast publications

[lawriegubb]

with the rise of our ( Australian) dollar I'm considering bying a baot on the West Coast of the US/Canada. Can any one direct me to publications that carry used boat adds from this area please? All the magazines here seem to be East coast.
Thanks
Lawrie

Pacific Yachting, and West Coast Boat Journal, and 48degrees North. Google them, I believe they all have websites now.

Yachtworld is great for boats for sale by broker. For boats for sale by owner, try these:

http://www.48north.com (48 Degrees North - our favorite!)

http://www.buysell.com/classifieds/R...ail_Boats.html
(Nor'Westing magazine's classifieds, a good source for Canadian boats for sale by owner)

http://www.nwyachting.com/ (NWYachting Magazine - more powerboats for sale by owner than sail, but still a decent source).

You might also try craigslist, or find the online members' forum for the type of boat you're looking for and look for their "marketplace".
Craigslist will give you those who may need to sell their boats in a hurry.

Don't do it all the boats in the US are rubbish and over priced. They just want our Aussie Dollars to prop up their dollar. Don,t do it.
