Why Sell Your Boat to Us
Selling a boat privately is notoriously difficult. The market is seasonal, buyers are scarce, and storing a listed boat costs money. Selling to Chinook Auto Sales eliminates the wait and the worry. We buy boats year-round and offer fair prices based on current market conditions. Skip the classifieds and get a professional offer today.
What Boats We Buy
We purchase a wide range of watercraft including fishing boats, pontoon boats, ski and wakeboard boats, runabouts, and personal watercraft. Whether it's an aluminum fishing boat or a fiberglass cabin cruiser, we're interested. We buy boats with and without trailers, and our appraisals account for all included equipment and accessories.
Seasonal Timing
While we buy boats year-round, spring and early summer typically offer the strongest demand and therefore the best offers. If you're planning to sell, reaching out before the boating season starts can maximize your return. That said, we make fair offers in every season, so don't wait if you're ready to sell now.
From Appraisal to Payment
Our boat appraisal process evaluates the hull condition, engine performance, electronics, trailer condition, and overall market value. Bring your boat to our lot or send us detailed information online for a preliminary estimate. Once we agree on a price, we handle all documentation and issue payment promptly.
