Boats for Sale in Youngstown, Florida
A part of Panama City Beach Florida
If you have ever been to Panama City, then you know that it is divided into a few subareas. Yes, you have the main stretch of the beach that goes along 98, but even here you have a progressive transition from the tourist attractions and hotels (closer to the bridge) and the grocery stores, gas stations, and “everyday” living commercial properties. Additionally, residential communities thrive along the 98 road as well as small unincorporated communities. Youngstown is one such community within the Bay county area. Located within Panama City beach, it is its own entity. Boat seekers will find that the community is ideal for those looking to have a vessel for the Gulf. Here is what you need to know.
Not directly on the water
Youngstown is up on 231 from Panama City Beach. This area is more to the malls and the forest groves of the area, but it is still close enough to the beach that you will find several boat dealerships and boat rentals. Look for Center Cruisers, as these will be the more popular of the boats for the area. Potential buyers should consider the narrow streets around Panama City, especially when you get past the main pier/Margaritaville. Youngstown does have access to a major highway, but this is a bit inconsequential as you still must launch the boat. For those seeking the larger beamed craft, consider launching in the West Bay and accessing the Gulf that way or going further down on 98.
Small boats aplenty
Those looking for a small bass boat or bay boat are very likely to find one in Youngstown. The Primary reason being that you have a peppered assortment of lakes and ponds around Greenhead, Betts, and a few south towards Southport. As these are small ponds for fishing, most of the boats will have a singular outboard motor. For those seeking the larger dual console or Center console boats, you might find one in Youngstown as you do have West Bay, North Bay, and McAllaster Landing.
Market Prices
Pre-owned boats for sale will be in a slightly lower price bracket than what you would find directly in Panama City Beach. Youngstown is still in Bay County which is considered a high priced real estate county, and so you might find that there are a few yachts and more elite boats offered. Youngstown does have a lower retail market value and so these will be scarcer. Most of the vessels that you will find will have boat trailers, be stored in side garages or tarped in driveways, or (depending upon the budget and the community of the seller) be stored in a local dock or marina.
Is it from Florida?
Like many of the cities which are in the upper part of the pan-handle, potential buyers should use due diligence when researching the lister. Boats which are from nearby Dothan or from Georgia should have a transferable title. While a tag and title may not be required from the selling state of Alabama or Georgia, Florida requires that all vessels have a tag and registration (with exemptions only on a few. See our article for more details).
