Selling a boat?

Posting is free. Buyers message you through the ad, so your phone number and email stay private unless you choose to show your number, and you deal with the buyer directly: buz.ie never handles the money. Your listing also shows here on Jetty Hop, beside the lakes, rivers and canals boaters plan their trips on.
