About US Marine Connection

A nationwide resource for boat buyers and sellers.

US Marine Connection exists for one reason: finding — or selling — a boat should be simpler than it is. Boats are unlike anything else you will ever buy or sell. They are transportation and escape, weekend tradition and serious investment, thousands of pounds of hull, rigging, and horsepower with a character all their own. Yet the market for them has been scattered across classified ads, dealer lots, and word of mouth.

We bring it together in one place. Hundreds of center consoles, pontoons, cruisers, and sailboats from established dealers and private sellers across the country — searchable by type, price, and state, reviewed before publication, and connected directly to the people selling them.

Whether you're a family buying a first pontoon for summer weekends, a serious angler stepping up to a bigger center console, or an owner deciding it's time for a well-loved boat to make memories on someone else's water — this is where America's boats change hands. Buy. Sell. Connect.

What you'll find here

Verified listings

Every listing — dealer or private — is reviewed by our team before it goes live, so you browse real boats, honestly described.

Trusted dealers & private sellers

Established dealership inventory sits alongside family boats looking for their next owner. Dealer listings are clearly badged, with full contact details.

Nationwide delivery

Many listings offer nationwide transport — look for the truck icon — so the right boat is within reach no matter which state it's docked in.

Free to list

Selling takes minutes and costs nothing: photos, details, done. Buyers contact you directly and your information goes only to them.

Direct connection

No middlemen and no accounts required. Send a message from any listing and it lands with the seller — that's the Connection in our name.

Search that works

Filter by type, price, and state, or browse by category — center consoles, pontoons, cruisers, sailboats, and more.

Who writes the guides

Joey Bouza

Founder, US Marine Connection

Joey Bouza is a working musician and the founder of Prospects International, a marketing firm that runs lead and appointment campaigns for dealers across the United States, including the website-lead programs behind a national boat brand's dealer network.

That work is where the numbers on this site come from: watching what people actually pay for used boats, market by market, and which listings move and which sit. The guides and articles here are written from that vantage point, and every price you see in them is drawn live from the listings currently on the site — not from a static chart.

How we handle numbers

Prices and counts in our guides come from live listings on this site and are recalculated hourly. Where we quote industry-typical figures (transport quotes, survey fees, winterizing, repower quotes) we say so, and we never publish a number we haven't measured or sourced.
