There is a magazine with a great website that calls itself "The Voice of The Great Lakes". It is Lakeland Boating.com. They have a boat search section with thousands of freshwater boats.

In 1996 I bought a large boat on Lake Ontario and had Miles Marine haul it to the lake. I sold it in 2003 for all that I had invested, including the trucking and the cost of having air conditioning installed. It is not often that it works out that way but if you spend some time looking there are some great deals to be found.

And, it was a good excuse to take vacations to the Thousand Islands area to go boat shopping.
I bought mine in Indiana 10 years ago and it was in awesome shape, no regrets at all.

Coincidentally, I plan to trailer mine out to the 1000 Islands for a multi-day trip aboard the boat. It's a shame NH does not allow overnight anchoring.
