Default Used Boats

Where are some good places to look for used bay boats besides this site? I have looked on Louisiana Sportsman and Boat Trader. I know how to refine the search on sportsman but Im having trouble on Boat Trader. When I type in Bay boat 21-24 ft on boat trader, no boats come up. Can you tell me if there is a better way. Do you know of any other sites for used boats to look at with out having to go through hundreds of pics of boats that arent bay boats?

Southeasttexas.com is a good one. Also, craigslist. Be careful on LA sportsman, there used to be alot of scammers on there with deals of a life time. Remember if it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Not to be rude but avoid this place like the plague.
I know 3 people who have bought from them and none turned out good.
Believe it or not ebay and craigs list are pretty good.
Whatever you find be sure to have a mechanic check it out. Look at the wiring really good. Make sure they have not cut ends on wiring and it is corrosion free.

What type of boat are you looking for?

Yeah the one time I went there I was not impressed by them. The impression I got was kinda like a shady used car salesman...only not as trustworthy

Yep, heard the same thing more than once about the BY. Also the poor sobs that actually leave a boat there for sale on consignment come back to realize that many accessories are gone/removed, TM, props, Batteries, you name it.
And that's how the fight started....

Do center console 21-24'

here's what I did and it worked, also make sure you have your zip code entered and and specify the distance.

I had no idea they were that bad! Bought a 18' Cajun bay boat from them 10ish years ago. Got a great deal and super service back then. Had the boat for bout 5 years with no issues. Moved up to an offshore boat. Sold the cajun to a guy down the street. Still running good too. Oh well I guess all good things do come to and end.

Ha, this is funny. I go to their website every now and then to look at the crappy boats they have listed. I think its funny to see what they are trying to sell.
