Boats for Sale in Williston, Florida

Gateway to the Nature Coast

Established in 1897 with the first census in 1900 with only about 200 people, the city of Williston is one of the older communities in the mid-Florida area. Dubbed the gateway to the Nature Coast, Williston lays to the west of 75, surrounded (though there is space between the city and such) by Lower Suwanee National Wildlife Refuge, Ocala National Forest, and Paynes Prairie State Preseve. And while the town is surrounded by lakes and ponds which would consequently ensure a large selection of pre-owned boats. It is not the lakes which will yield the largest selection. If you are seeking a boat in Williston Florida, here is what you should know.

Monterey Boats

Perhaps your greatest avenue for finding a pre-owned boat will be with a Monterey Brand boat for sale. The Willison Florida’s main employer is the boat company which has a 110k square foot manufacturing facility in the area. Since the company is one of the top brands in the state, it would stand to reason that Williston county residences, who make up the majority of the workforce for the manufacturing facility, would have Monterey boats. As new boats are introduced and as newer models are acquired from the workers, it is probable that the older models are sold.

To find out more about the Monterey Boat brand please visit the manufacturer review page as well as the model review pages for pre-owned Monterey boats for sale.

Outboard Motors for Williston boats for sale

Monterey Boats are primarily equipped with Yamaha outboard engines. These will be the most prominent outboard engines that you will find. For the smaller ponds and lakes, you might find bass boats and skiffs, Yellowfin, Everglades, Boston Whalers, and Seahunter boats for sale. These might have a two stroke engine or a lower HP Mercury engine. Regardless of the outboard, potential buyers should check with the lister as many engines if they are under 5 years have a transferable manufacturer warranty.

Getting to the Gulf

You, the boat seeker, will find that there will be ample large boats Yachts, cabin cruisers, flybridge, and Center Console boats available. And while there will be a selection, you will need to get the boat to the water. Taking the smaller roads could pose a problem, especially given the roughness of the roads, the two lane design, and beams of the boat. To get to the gulf, the best solution would be to take 75 to 98 if going northbound and to take 75 to 50 if you are going southbound.

Boats which are less than 20’ may be able to be towed using a standard tow behind boat trailer. Larger vessels will need to have special towing, crane, and other considerations taken into account prior to purchase and delivery.
