Listed boats with them 3 times never had anybody but scammers text immediately after listing. This time Kathy or Howard promised they would sell my boat in 4 months or my money back. Now 4 1/2 months after listing not a single real buyer has contacted me and after reaching out to Kathy she refuses to answer or call back. Yet they are so unorganized they don't even care to check if they already have your boat listed so they continue to call u every few weeks and pitch you their services until u finally get a word in that it's already listed and they just hang up. Do urself a favor keep the $300 or give it to the homeless because the people are scammers
Excellent and prompt service from Howard and BoatsFSBO. I can't say enough good things about them. We received three inquiries within a week or two from highly interested and financially qualified buyers. No tire kickers here. Two were private parties located in the US mainland and one was a charter boat operator who already had three boats operating out of the same marina in Puerto Rico where our boat was based. Unfortunately we didn't have three boats to sell. We went with the existing charter operator who had employees on site who we were able to immediately do inspections and a sea trial. Very smooth transaction.
Howard got my listing up quick. Pictures and description were spot on. I was getting leads from all sites, and eventually sold through The Hull Truth a couple weeks after listing. Fast and inexpensive way to get your boat sold! I highly recommend.
Don't be fooled by the made up glowing reviews. Paying $300 to list your boat with them is equal to throwing your money overboard. They will sweet talk you into how many are looking for a boat just like yours… don't believe them!
Hi Andy, best decision I ever made in using your service. Tried the brokers but no luck. Sold the 32 Carver Convertible within 2 weeks after you put up the adds. Thank you so much for your great service. I will be telling all my marina friends about your great service, the only way to go. Thanks again, Bill Logan
Howard you can remove my C&C 33-2 "Escape" from your listing; she sold as of June 5,2021. It has been less then a year in the works. Thank you for revisions that i sent along to you, and your prompt response at making my listing stand out. I believe the key to our success is your geographical listing on Facebook in the great lakes region. My boat sold to someone in the Chicago area. Thanks, well worth the fee and support at selling without a broker.
I listed a boat for sale with this site over 5 years ago, but was not able to sell the boat through the site. The problem is that ever since I receive weekly ads promoting the site. The unsubscribe button does not stop these emails, and only labelling them as Spam has stopped them showing up in my inbox (my spam box is full of them!)
Smoothest process I've ever had trying to sell a boat. My boat sold 48 hours after Boats For Sale By Owner posted my listing and for the price I needed. I recommend these guys if you are looking to sell, or buy a boat.
I had been on about 5 other sites since May with no luck. The manager of my marina told me to post my ad on BOATSFSBO.com and the boat- 1988 Sea Ray - sold to a man in in Cincinnati- I am in Erie, PA. Wow!
Not really sure what Jodie's role is at boatsFSBO.com. We hired her to list our boat 3-4 months ago. Since then she has cold called me twice to see if our boat is still available... the same sales technique she used the first time we spoke. When I tell her she already has our listing she just hangs up. I'll call her back to discuss and she ignores my calls. Is this good customer service? This site seems more of a scam than it is helpful.
Jodie's number is *******780 if you need to file a complaint yourself.
Answer: I called the 800 number and they removed it the next day
