No but why don't you try Exchange and Mart or I saw a book that my son had called Boat Mart cost approx £3.50 but towards the back was a section with boats for sale all different types and prices maybe you will find what you are looking for there

I was in Belgium couple of weeks ago there is a boatyard at Gent and I saw a lovely boat about 35 feet long looked like the cruisers you see on Lake Garda but had had a Swiss cross on the funnel in need of some tlc also lots of other types of boat shells seems like a take your pick sort of place.

Try boatsandoutboards or apolloduck. Both good sites. Also have a trawl around your local boatyards. If you see something of interest that doesn't look like it's been touched for a while make some enquiries. Let the boatyard owners know you're looking. Thats what I do. Currently doing up an ex thames cruiser as a possible liveaboard or weekender.

Lots of boats lying around that they just want to get out of the yard. Drive around and have a look see. Put a add in the paper, their giving them away. Make some ones day and your own. Happy hunting.

The absolute best place to look is www.yachtworld.com you can narrow your boat search by boat type, size, price range, location etc. Private parties and boatbrokers list there worldwide. It has everything from rowboats to oil tankers.
Good Luck and sail fast.

try calling local marina's and boat dealers, they usually have some fixer uppers in the back. If you don't live near water access, then just type in the word marina's in your state and call and ask them, auto trader type magazines have boat ones in most 7-11 type stores.
