This brings back memories from years gone by when I was on the hunt for my dream boat.
I searched high and low. Friends references were great to find a few folks who are great at locating “that unbelievable deal”, and placing ads in local classifieds asking everyone to keep an eye out resulted in loads of replies.
Places where winter storage is a must fall time brings discount prices.
I actually found my Cat here in BCB boats for sale section.
If you are willing to travel, have the funding ready, and have the ability or support to evaluate potential boats then it will be a matter of time.
My best advice is to have a knowledgeable person with you when you see the boat so you will have another point of view inspecting everything without any attachments to bias the view points.
Good hunting and please share your journey, both good and not so good, with us. I expect to see a great picture of you and the big Cat you hunted down
