This is a very timely article. I've been in the boating industry for most my adult life (38 years) and have never seen so many repo boats for sale as I've witnessed in the past 2 years..especially this year. I've been able to find several yachts this year that I would have paid double for 3 years ago...the same yacht!

For a good bank repo source I recommend www.boatauctionsdirect.com as they network banks and auction houses.
