I've looked at boats in Florida in the past too. Prices are low in the Southeast, that is for sure. The problem with boats from FL, SC and GA is that they are generally beat. They spend all the time out in the sun so the gel coat is oxidized, the canvas is faded and the vinyl is dried out.

Boats from North Carolina and further north are generally in better condition. The Chesapeake Bay and Tidewater areas of Virginia have lots of boats for sale and they don't see as much use/abuse. Boats from the Midwest are probably the best of all: freshwater, short season, frequently store inside for the winters. However, limited supply usually leads to higher prices too.

Buying a used boat is such a crap shoot, it's usually fun shopping though!
