We are seeking a used recreational fiberglass outboard open bow and motor in the 18' range for freshwater water skiing and general boating but are having great difficulty locating such boats. We have used the various used boat websites we can find and also Ebay and Craigslist however even the boat-specific sites never allow searching by 'outboard only' in their Advanced Search tools, so we scroll and scroll through listings and it seems that 99% of the boats are I/O. We're also working with a marina in Ontario to help us locate one. It's as though no one is interested in these boats anymore or maybe they get scooped up immediately. Can anyone offer any advice to us on 1) how to find such a boat on the east coast and 2) why it appears there is no inventory? Thank you.
