I love your vids! Just sold my '91 Chaparral 1800 SL with the 3.0 MerCruiser. Bought her almost 2 months ago. In that time I detailed the interior and polished the gelcoat, rattle-canned the trailer, and couple other odd ball touches to make it as perfect as I would like for the budget. Made $1500 selling it the day I listed it. Taking a Sea Ray 200 Signature with the 5.7 MerCruiser out on the lake tomorrow. It's a '94 with a newer trailer. Looks even better than the Chaparral. It's a turquoise color which I'm on the fence about. My trucks burgandy and they offered that boat in turquoise, dark blue, and a burgandy that would match my truck, but the chances of finding one are slim. Besides that the boat is superb and has one owner. Was kept in dry storage during the winter. Around 400 hours. I live near a few lakes and don't fish. More into water spots and leisure so I love bowriders.
Boston Whalers are hard to pass up. They built the 25' hulls bomb proof and damned near unsinkable and dropped on several styles of decks. Years ago in South East Alaska I had a pilot house 25 with two 120's. We used that thing like a truck. She took everything we threw at her without complaint. Probably the best MV I have ever had.
I'm very envious. In my country, you have to pay $ 1,000 for a deflated dinghy that’s in your video 15:42. Those bigger ships, in this condition, are over eight to ten thousand with us. :-)
Good luck with those old boats, glad to see someone's keeping them from the landfill. I refurbished one and lost money when you factored in the hours to restore it, I did get to enjoy it on the lakes though, factoring that back in and I came out ahead.
Even old Boston Whalers are worth good money in Australia. Last year I was looking at an early 90's 21ft flats boat with a 150 Yammie..... Asking price was $34,000 and the trailer was trashed.
We have that same 25 Pursuit right now. Well be putting the 300 from our Ocean Master on it this month and selling that. You said you have a lot of project boats right now? What all do you have going on? Maybe I could make a trip up there and give you guys a hand?
Currently we have a aquasport 222 cc, Striper 22' cuddy, 17' aquasport cc, and a sylvan bow rider. I also want to redo my personal 17' aquasport and repower it. All of them are project boats.
@@ThatBoatGuy Oh man! You ain't kidding lol You've got quite the line up there! Those 17's are nice, whenever you get a chance, if you want to, send me an email to: aaron@bornagainboating.com and let me know what exactly you need to do to them. I've got tons of stuff too, like bilge pumps, washdowns, livewell pumps, that kind of stuff. Might be able to help you out with some of that stuff if you need it. Then maybe we could work something out and we'll take a little trip up there and help tackle a couple of those so you can get rid of them!
Really enjoying your channel. I'm pretty sure you're in Florida but can you tell me how I would find car and boat auctions elsewhere in the country like in NJ? Thanks for any help and keep up the good work.
Boat Guy I was a car buyer and bought exclusively from auctions for about 5 years. There's different tactics at buying from a auction. Actually there's a lot of psychology involved in it. Look at who's bidding against you, make sure they see you. Sometimes get right up behind the other bidder and bid 😁 it makes them nervous. Sometimes hang back and don't let others bidders see you make a bid. The other bidders will think the auctioneer is "running up the bid" and they'll quit bidding Stay Aggressive 👌 Whatever the auctioneer is asking bid less.
Do you have a list of recommended auctions you'd check out in the Tampa area? On the other side of the bay myself and been looking to get our first boat. Instead of getting something new I'd personally like a project to learn the ins and outs. So far I've got Copart and Tampa Machinery Auction, any other recommendations?
I just saw this two year old video of yours. If you had a crystal ball then, buy every one of those running cars oh boy. You’ll have a hearty profit today. Great video. What auction house is this please?
Great videos and restorations! Do you sell your boats to the general public, or do you only sell to local customers? I live in Georgia but would like find a good used boat that I could trailer down to Florida for tarpon fishing! Thanks!
i live in the netherlands and man, that mercedes is a piece of gold. if you had to sell taht here man you could ask so much for it. (ofc after some good work on the paint and interior). didn't even pass the 800$ damn.
@@Z71Ranger no. they would never take on so much water they won't plane off. you just need to check the through hull brass tubes to see if they are still sealing , but you would take them all out and let the foam dry out over a few months anyway.
Yes you can as long as it has a clean titile. Even if it’s been totaled or something you can file for a salvaged title or rebuilt title you just have to have an inspection to make sure it’s been repaired correctly.
Anyone know where the boat guy is located? would like to do the same with someone here in Corpus need extra pennies and cant legally work with my Vet rating anyone?
Interesting auction but I would be very leery bidding on any boat that was donated to charity. Previous owner looking for a nice right off on a boat with issues.
I know that feeling well. You know you can do the work, and make it into a nice boat. You have to get those non runners really cheap, unless you know exactly what's wrong with it. Just a lower unit could cost you most of your profit. I loved flipping boats, I've done about 40 boats, some really nice ones, and some shit ones I made nice. Some I found on the side of the road.
It's a Boston whaler. At that price It should of been priority on your projects! Clean it up service the motor and it sells itself. That inflatable was repairable especially in your state with multiple places that specialize in that. They fetch a pretty penny for that size and easy to flip. Pick it up for a 100 and make 1000 profit off it.
Hi! I congratulate you guys for working this boats so nice. IS any place you publish when you put this projects for sale? I would like to follow up to buy one. Thanks. Fernando.
I think the Boston whaler with yami had lots of potential. BW makes great boats. I just painted inside and out of my 1982 13 whaler with awlgrip and it’s super solid
It's hard to say without being there in person, but I was thinking in my head that the Tiara for anything less than $3,000 would be a good deal, and $2,000 for the Whaler. I'm not a boat restorer like you, so you have a much better idea about what it takes to get them running and looking nice, just giving you my outsider impression.
He had his mind set on how much he wanted to pay. We just have so much stuff in our yards already that in order to justify the purchase it would have to be really cheap.
Hello there. Could you please tell me the last year US stopped bringing in Yamaha 2strokes? I am looking to repower with another 90hp 2stroke and also new some work done on my 15hp 2003 Yamaha 2 stroke. Are you in Florida? Thanks
Clear out your projects before going to auction both looked like nice condition the whaler look the best both good both went cheap I would have tried for whaler JT 🇺🇸🐟🎣🌴🛥⛱😃😊🙏🏻
No big deal. You win some, you lose some. I’ve been there countless times. Making a purchase you regret is a lot worse than not making one. You’ll live to fight another day.
"This even has a nest in it..." You say that like it's a good thing! 🤣🤣🤣
Nah he def did not say it like it was a good thing. Noting he had just said something about it being broken.
It's a feature!
From factory
I mean if it has a nest it means it probably doesn't have a lot of hours.
No way nobody wanted that clean merc! 😯 Man, all these running vehicles at ridiculously low prices, I would have been all over them lol.
200 for that little speedboat!!! That thing looks sweet. Throw a90 on the back, that thing would be quick

Even old Boston Whalers are worth good money in Australia. Last year I was looking at an early 90's 21ft flats boat with a 150 Yammie.....
Asking price was $34,000 and the trailer was trashed.
He's right they're dreaming in Australia the prices for shit boxes is nearly double Americas prices and more!!!!
@@nathanmatthews4422 come to Holland... They will ask €750 for a flat dinghy without motor xD
TheDutchLord nederland gang
Yup because somebody has to pay to get these Boats all the way down under...
BOSS MAN a 21 ft fats boat would be $160k + and a 21ft half cabin would be $220-260k
Do they still have this place .??.and if so you should do a up date on the this auction..!!with the cars and boats.!

Wow! Eric, I even got excited over that auction...Thank you so much for your videos.
How do you look up when and where the auctions take place..
does anyone have recommendations in the south west Florida area near port Charlotte

Can someone please tell me where the auction is being held what city and state?
Wow where is this auction ?😮
Love that Salvation Army, Got a nice running 14 ft Starcraft with a Tohatsu 18 HP from there! Did not need any work!
Most older Boston whalers are water logged because it is all foam inside. So you always need to check that
But it STILL wouldn't sink lol...
Ya but it would be a piece of junk
@@andrewfreeman88 But it would Never Get On Plane...
@@Z71Ranger no. they would never take on so much water they won't plane off. you just need to check the through hull brass tubes to see if they are still sealing , but you would take them all out and let the foam dry out over a few months anyway.

What a great auction where is this held?
👍👍👍good videos did you got the link for the auction ? Thanks
That whaler is badass. Expensive boats.
Can you register the cars bought at auction?
Yes you can as long as it has a clean titile. Even if it’s been totaled or something you can file for a salvaged title or rebuilt title you just have to have an inspection to make sure it’s been repaired correctly.

Was the second boat a limestone?

Salvation Army auction somewhere in Florida

Lol that's the whole point. Buy it to fix them up.
Where is the auction, they were saying for the salvation army?
I need to find auction like these for boats
Seriously sweet prices
I would have took the whole fleet and flipped them easy

Old Yamaha before about 1995 or so had crap for carbs
See you the next auctions I go to all of them. Also you know about the auction on 19 and park Blvd. Across from Walmart
Meu Amigo me diga se tem condições de comprar uma lancha dessa aí e manda ela aqui pra o Brasil ?
What action was this? located in Florida?
It's a Boston whaler. At that price It should of been priority on your projects! Clean it up service the motor and it sells itself.
That inflatable was repairable especially in your state with multiple places that specialize in that. They fetch a pretty penny for that size and easy to flip. Pick it up for a 100 and make 1000 profit off it.

Can you post some info about this auction?
where is this
Really interesting series of videos on auctions in Florida. Is this where you and your work partners find all your project boats?
No mostly private sales.
I think the Boston whaler with yami had lots of potential. BW makes great boats. I just painted inside and out of my 1982 13 whaler with awlgrip and it’s super solid
awesome videos !
I need to find some auctions like this with jet skis
Wow, I would have bought all those boats at those prices!

I'm not a boat restorer like you, so you have a much better idea about what it takes to get them running and looking nice, just giving you my outsider impression.
Depending on location. I could have got more than $10K for that Boston whaler up north after it was all cleaned up and running.
Good stuff! That is a true auctioneer. The others i've seen on your channel are nowhere near as good, and frankly, boring as hell.
Just wondering do you fix and resales it.
Do you need a certain license to go to these auctions? If so what kind of license and how do I acquire it ? Please let me know if possible. Thanks
When you buy the boat; is the trailer included in the auction price; or you just buy the boat ???
Sebastian Tufigno As is everything what you see. Yes trailer included
Aye I was was curious that in the video you said that you guys had projects already on process and I was curious how they look like
They have been sitting for years

If there was no soft spots like he said and everything was solid the whaler was a steal of the year even without a motor

Anybody knows name of auction and adress , they always have good deals on cars , thanks
What auction is this?
