Boats for Sale in Wimauma, Florida

A city by Tampa Bay

Wimauma Florida is located just to the east of Apollo beach, Ruskin, and Sun City Center. Connected to its southern boarder is the Little Manatee river. The city’s location is idealistic for those seeking any type of pre-owned vessel. Whether you are seeking a bay boat, skiff, cabin cruiser, center console, dual console, dual hull, sport express, flybridge, yacht, or mini-yacht, you are apt to find what you are looking for in Wimauma Florida. However, before you purchase your next boat, here are a few things to consider.

Manatee River

The Manatee river is given such a name due to the Manatee which live within it. The river also has alligators, herons, dolphin, and freshwater fish. And while there are areas where fishing is allowed, boaters should take caution. Florida legislation states in the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 that it is “illegal to harass, hunt, capture, or kill any marine mammal.” Florida also has a specific mandate for the Manatee under the Florida Manatee Sanctuatry Act of 1978 stating that fines and such could be incurred for any damages to the manatee. The focus of the Sanctuary Act is on the 13 key counties, Hillsborough County is not one of these counties. Nevertheless, consideration should be given when purchasing an outboard engine for the Manatee River.

It may be more profitable for fish in other freshwater in the area. One might find that a bass boat or a fish around boat in Lake Wimauma or Carlton Lake to be less of a risk.

The Tampa association

While Wimauma Florida is not in Tampa, it is close to Tampa Bay. This area is known for its boat shows and the abundance of vessels from the top brands in the world. And while the shows primarily focus on securing sales and delivery at a later date, boat owners in the area seek it as a time to sell their pre-owned boats. Additionally, as the market continuously changes (much like fashion but with boats), the horizon of the bay shifts as well. Potential buyers may find that the HydraSport Suenos is for sale as the owner wishes to have the new 60’ offered this year.

The Tampa bay association may also allow for boat buyers in the Wimauma Florida area to acquire sailboats, powerboats, dual hull boats, and Sports Express Yachts easier than in other areas of the state. Again, look for boats which have one ownership and those which have packages and motor upgrades. As Tampa Bay is much associated with the aesthetics as well as the functionality of the boat, you may find more of a deal than in areas where there is not a focus on the boating community.

Accessing the Gulf

You will find that access to the Gulf of Mexico is best done at Apollo Beach. To get to the docks, you will need to take 674 to Ruskin and then take 41 North to Apollo Beach. Consider the width of your boat. If you have a large beam boat you may need to use 75 to Big Bend Rd. to avoid any unnecessary hazards of moving a larger boat. Smaller vessels and tow behind boats should be able to navigate some of the smaller roads with ease, just keep in mind the dirt roads and pot holes which are common on Florida’s back roads.
