Bank-Owned Boat Auctions?

[Lataman]

Anyone know of any auctions that are in CA? Did a search on google and came up empty and thought I would try through here.

 

Thanks all!

When the banks around here repo stuff they just set it on their lots and sell that way or send it to the local auction which does cars, rv units, and boats.

Many of the actions that they go through are dealer only.

Dealers sell the repos around here

We have a few auction places around here for vehicles but I haven't seen any boats in the lots. I'll have to check around at a few dealerships and check inventory.

I doubt you will find anything at an auction you can get in other than those public auctions that anybody can take stuff to to sell.  Not exactly the place I would want to buy a boat.  Most big auctions that the banks and finance companies deal with a dealer only, not something the person off the street you can buy from.

 

I've gotten my last three at auction in Arizona, but my brother is a used car dealer and gets them for me.  My last was a three year old boat booked for $18,000 (was over 30K new) but a lot of parts off the motor was in one of the storage boxes.  I got it for $5,000 but I happen to be able to fix any and everything about one myself.  $1,200 in parts I get wholesale and it's been running great for a couple of years.  Which it cost me $800 to get it shipped from Az to GA, so for $7,000 I get a nice 20' bass boat with a 225 on it.
