The next boat will be my 4th in 30 years. Previous ones have been bought second hand from the back pages of YM but in the 11 years since I last went through the exercise, this source has faded almost to nothing.
Instead there are lots of web sites like Yachtworld and boats.com and boat 24, but some if not all of these seem to simply pick up brokers adverts and copy them. The issue being that when you get to the detail of one of the adverts, maybe even after calling the broker, the boat is either sold or "under offer". So following up most of the web adverts is a waste of time.
Is there one reliable source, a web site where the brokers chose to paste their ads and where they are kept up to date?.
It doesnt help that for the first time ever I am looking for a Mobo and there seem to be way more brokers that I have never previously heard of flogging these boats.
