Boats for Sale in Vernon

Finding boats for sale in Vernon Florida

With a population under 1000 residences and a total area measuring around five square miles, Vernon is quite a small incorporated area in North Florida. But this does not mean that those seeking boats will not be able to find a boat for sale in Vernon Florida. As the city is central to a great many smaller ponds, lakes, and freshwater sources, it may allow for boat seekers to find bass boats and other smaller angler craft. If seeking boats for sale in Vernon Florida, this is what you should know.

Small lakes equivalate to small motor engines

While there are many boats for sale in Vernon, they are not large vessels. Most of the vessels that are offered are single to double outboard engine. Power is typically a 150HP to perhaps a 300HP, but this is rare. The Hull of the boats in this area lean more to the flat bottom rather than the Deep Vee Hull design, as the Deep Vee Hull causes scrubbing and launching problems.

Benefits of purchasing a bay boat, fish around, walk around, or a Skiff boat for sale in Vernon Florida is that you are very likely to get additional features and packages for the shallow water fisherman. Look for boats which have extended casting decks, added live and bait wells, canvas or hardtop additions, longer power polls, secondary anchoring, and electronic additions to the center console, such as fish finder and GPS imaging.

Salt water access

There is the option to purchase a boat which will be used for salt water purposes. As Vernon is located in that top thin section of North Florida, accessing the Gulf is very easy. Vernon is in Washington County, which makes it two counties over from the coastline. One thing that boat seekers should understand about this area of Florida is that boat access is rather limited. Personal beach access fencing, piers, hotels, and tourist based beach access has greatly reduced the ability for boat owners to launch their craft. As such, if you have a trailered vessel, you will need to use one of the nearby boat docks.

Larger vessels, specifically charter boats which are popular in that area, should be docked rather than launched. This will mean that potential boat buyers in Vernon will need to seek out a dock on 98 in order to access the Gulf. The road from Vernon to 98 is a two lane in some areas and a very narrow 4 lane in others. As such, it would not behoove the purchaser of the larger vessels, cabin cruisers, cuddy boats, luxury leisure’s, or express sport cabins to take them down the highway.

Size of boats for sale in Vernon Florida

Most of the boats in Vernon Florida will be 10’ to 25’ max. This is, again, due to the small ponds and streams in the area which will be fished in. Additionally, as the city has a small population, and as the residences in that area are not in the higher price bracket, meaning that the house sizes and garages are more adapt to store this size then to pay for storage on 30’ to 60’ yachts, look for the smaller angler boats to be for sale in abundance in Vernon.
