How It Works
Why GOT ONE? works for Boat sellers
Traditional marketplaces put your boat in front of browsers. GOT ONE? flips the model: verified buyers post what they want — their requirements, budget and timeline. As a seller, you review active requests and respond privately with your offer. No advertising costs. No tyre-kickers.
The GOT ONE? seller advantage
Every buyer on GOT ONE? is verified before they can post. They have stated their budget, described exactly what they need and confirmed their contact details. When you respond, you are talking to a serious, motivated buyer — not answering a cold enquiry.
What Buyers Look For
What Boat buyers need to know
Include these details in your response to buyer requests to get the fastest, most confident offers for your boat:
- List engine hours — buyers weight this heavily, especially for outboards over 100 hours
- State whether the trailer is registered and when the tyres and wheel bearings were last serviced
- Include all safety equipment and their expiry dates — flares, EPIRB registration date, life jackets
- Detail electronics: sounder model, chart plotter, VHF and any fishfinder transducer type
Who's Buying
Boat buyer types on GOT ONE?
- Recreational fisherfolk seeking a specific fishing platform
- Families wanting a ski or wakeboard boat
- Offshore enthusiasts needing a seaworthy vessel
- First-time boat buyers with a specific budget
FAQ
Common questions about selling a Boat
Where is the best place to sell a boat in Australia?
GOT ONE? connects you with verified buyers actively searching for specific boat types — aluminium tinnies, fibreglass runabouts, offshore vessels. Buyers post their requirements including budget, trailer preference and location, so you only respond to genuine matches.
Do I need a marine survey to sell a boat?
A survey is not legally required for small recreational craft but significantly increases buyer confidence. For vessels over $50,000, most buyers will request one as a condition of purchase.
Can I sell a boat with an unregistered trailer?
Yes, but disclose it clearly. An unregistered trailer reduces the effective value of the package — buyers will factor registration and inspection costs into their offer.
What are typical engine hours for a well-maintained outboard?
Quality 4-stroke outboards (Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki) can reliably reach 2,000+ hours with proper maintenance. Buyers typically view sub-500 hour engines as low-use. Anything over 1,000 hours warrants a pre-purchase inspection.
