Howard called me Saturday to discuss his services, and I listed my vintage Lyman with him. Got a call on Sunday from a buyer looking for a 26 ft Lyman, and he drove 3 hours to see it. Bought it that day. Howard put together a nice listing.

No hesitation in recommending FSBO's services.
Boat sold quickly without the hassles or costs of a broker.
Howard was easy to work with and no problems making a couple of listing corrections and changes.
Overall easy and painless experience
Kudos and cheers to Howard

Great Experience!
February 5, 2018

Working with Howard of FSBO was easy. With minimal paperwork FSBO had my boat up & running on great websites and google searches. It wasnt going to be easy selling a $60,000 boat. But the right buyer was searching and said he saw my boat pop up so he found it on FSBO. Sold in two months, so worth the small fee. Terri Shea

I put a very aggressive price on my Super Air Nautique G21 listed on Craigslist and I received no responses after a few weeks. I then got a call from FSBO boats and he told me about his platform to sell my boat. I decided it couldn't hurt as I needed to move my boat quickly before winter and I gave it a shot. It was very easy, I didn't even have to load any pictures or get anything to them. FSBO pulled all the info from my Craigslist ad and I did nothing more. Literally three days later my boat was sold. I know my price had something to do with it, but not only did they put it all over the internet on boat selling sites that I didn't even know existed, they were very easy to work with and friendly. It was a simple process and now my boat has a new owner! And those of you that own boats know, best days are the day you buy it and day you sell it. Thanks for making the sale easy. I would recommend anyone to use this company. I will be using them again next year when I sell my 2017 G21.

Great advertising
August 9, 2016

Just wanted to say thank you to Howard and FSBO for a great web site. After a few weeks on craigslist and not even one call, it only took about 2 weeks on FSBO and I got several inquires which resulted in the sale of my boat. I would definitely recommend and use your site again. Great job guys. Thanks again, Dave

I wasted half the summer with craigslist. Bunch of people who were looking for a free ride on my boat. Boatsfsbo.com sold my boat in 6 days- and another person would have bought it if my first deal fell through. This is the best site by far. I will be buying another boat in the Spring and I will use this site for that purchase.

I could not be happier with Howard's professionalism and willingness to help me with pricing the boat getting pictures on and getting my ads removed quickly when the boat sold. I have put his business card up the bulletin board at my former marina.

I had 6 or 7 calls from people who saw it on there all seemed to be pretty knowledgeable about my Chaparral- second guy who saw it bought it- I obviously love BOATSFSBO - probably will use them to buy a larger Chap or a Wellcraft. I saw a nice 30' Wellcraft on there I am considering. I have a lot of friends with boats I can go out on with, so I may wait awhile to buy another one.

Great service!

When decided to sell your boat I would highly recommend to start advertising with boatsfsbo.com. They sold my boat recently while having it advertised on two other sites with no results.
Excellent service with always prompt response.

SCAM
April 28, 2016

I should have read reviews first. I listed my pontoon online and paid the $200. Never heard anything and never saw my boat listed anywhere. After a week or do had passed, A man called from this company wanting me to spend even more money with them. I told him that since it had been so long without hearing from them that I listed somewhere else. He actually go angry and told me that I had just listed that very day and asked why I bothered in the first place! Well, my add has never been listed and they still have my $200. I think they are crooks!

After receiving a suggestion from another BoatsFSBO user, I decided to post my 2004 Sea Doo Jet Boat on their site. I was pleasantly surprised to have several interested parties contact me within the first couple of weeks, especially after posting the boat on several other ad sites for 2 months with no interest! I would recommend using BoatsFSBO for anyone looking to sell their boat and I will point any interested buyers to the same site. Nice job Howard and the BoatsFSBO.com team!
