What kind of Bluewater boats are for sale

How fast Bluewater ads come down

Of 10 Bluewater ads we watched end, 20% came down within 14 days of posting. Of 18 listed now, 39% have been for sale 60 days or more, counting re-posts as one boat.

Craigslist removes a post after 30 to 45 days, so a long listing time often means the seller re-posted. See how fast used boat ads come down for the method.

The 20 most recently seen of 53 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.
