i have just decided that i need a bigger boat, so my current one (catalina 27) needs to find a good new home. Any suggestions on which site to advertise?
Since this is the first boat i am selling i don't have experience on what works and what doesn't. While looking around I just noticed there is 1000 or so "sell your boat" sites, assume some work better than others.
sailingtexas.com....
Don't let the name fool you this is a busy little website that has a large national following. Best of all it is free! Check it out you won't be disappointed and you might even find your new boat there.
I have bought boats and sold boats on Craigslist. Advertised on a few other sights, including paid sights and magazines. I had lots of interest and my final buyer from Craigslist. It's free too and you can post photos.
Chris- Actually...E-bay is the #2 boat SELLING site on the internet (behind yacht-world which is broker only).
Giventhe popularity and price range of your boat...I'd also try local sources like the newspaper and "Boat Trader" newspapers.
I'd have to agree... given that the OP and the two backing the site suggested are all under 4 posts each, and two of the three just joined in the last three days.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
It was obvious to me since I frequent the yachworld, trader online,etc. and know what a good site looks like. They are just trying to get traffic. It works in the short term but when superlatives are used to describe anything...best site, #1 rated, I always ask... best in whose opinion, highest rated by whom, the founder.
