Split, Croatia, where to buy a good 2nd hand or new dinghy and outboard

[Irish Rover]

I've made an offer on an ex charter boat in Split but it doesn't come with a dinghy or outboard. I'm here for a couple of days more and while I'm waiting for an answer on my offer I want to see what dinghies, outboards are available. Ideally I'm looking for something around 3.5 metres with 10/15 HP electric start.

Is there a FB Marketplace in the area?? If so, do a search there and restrict the search distance to say 5Km?

Thanks. I'm not on FB and, in any event, I wouldn't want to buy from some randomer on social media. I'd be more interested in buying from an established dealer or reseller.

Does the charter operator have any sensible suggestions, after all, they should know who is who in the area?

Don't want to get ahead of myself asking about them about this before we agree a price. They might read it like I'd already made up my mind at any price.

Would pointing out to them that having to also buy a dinghy + o/b is going to put you €nnn.nn over budget for the purchase of the ex-charter boat, therefore you don't have any room for negotiation on price?

Go track down a guy called Emil. He's the Beneteau Yachts Dealer and his office is in the Marina Buildings.
I'm sure he'll have second hander for you.
(Pass on my regards)

Done but, we both know, they've heard it all before Joe.
