1st Copart Boat Auction! ..Big Mistake!?? - Boat Flip

I drive 1,200 miles in one day to pick up the largest boat I have ever owned. Watch if I can avoid disaster and make a profit..!
I won this auction for $450 but ended up paying $1,150 after Copart kept jacking the price up and added 4 different fees!

Awesome video

[@mikeallmon1]

ahhhhhhh!! 49 south!! a million times for me visiting my parents in Rogers driving up from Austin!

[@ramirez924]

Great video!! I have been thinking of buying a boat on Copart to restore. I will be following your progress. I am in St. Charles Parish, BTW.

[@stillaliveboatflips]

Thanks for watching. If this rain would ever stop I will get out there and start working. I was surprised after I won this auction that there was a fee to bid online, a fee to pick up my boat, a fee to store my boat, and a fee to process my boat. About $200 worth of fees so make sure you get a good deal 👍

I used to be the yard manager at the kansas city copart. Boats were usually the worst items to have

[@davidrichter544]

Next time run your lights and new wires to the back of your boat I did this for years it works so 2 working lights with the plate

[@paulterry7299]

Thanks for the video it's pretty cool

[@stillaliveboatflips]

Thanks! More updates coming soon..

Trailer light boards are around $20 to make if you’re towing on a regular basis.

[@rca1651]

Keep doing it

I've bought several vehicles from Copart. Never a boat. But yes good idea to look at it first. I'm still driving and enjoying 3 trucks I bought at Copart.

[@gnarly706]

I heard the auction hidden fees are too much. I'm from uk so good research.

[@GunnarsGames]

I would never buy a used vessel, vehicle, or house without actually inspecting it in person.

[@stillaliveboatflips]

..Yet another reason why you are much smarter than I Gunnar

[@murraymadness4674]

Especially a boat! A rotten floor/hull/transom can look good, but costs 10x to repair.

[@ajshropshire9068]

Boat and trailer seems more trouble than its worth, I thought driving a boat on rivers and seas under the influence (bottle on dash) of alcohol was illegal or am I missinformed.

[@gnarly706]

But are allowed too look at the boats before buying.

[@basehorhonda]

I hate to say it, but A) you purchased a boat online, B) only paid 650 for it, and C) purchased it off of Copart. Not sure what you really were exactly expecting.

[@stillaliveboatflips]

I only got to see the pictures of the good parts of the boat. They didn't take many pictures of anything bad so I thought the boat was in a little better condition than it was. I realize $650 is not a lot for such a large boat, was just hoping to be able to put a couple hundred into it and then make at least $1,000 profit

[@bamahama707]

@@stillaliveboatflips Learned something, I hope. Nothing like SEEING and touching the goods before you buy.

[@jeepgirl1653]

2400 miles to buy a POS.? You can find plenty of junk to buy right close to home.

[@stillaliveboatflips]

Thanks Nostradamus

[@bajadan2769]

Better to buy a private party close to home ..

[@judechopper]

Next time buy a light board with extension lead

[@ryca1318]

A some vid

[@gofish2233]

That was quite an adventure. Copart lets you just drive off the lot even with a crappy trailer??

[@stillaliveboatflips]

Dude, the front end loader driver insisted that I get out the way. They certainly did not care if the boat fell down the mountain when I got off their property. Thank God I brought two new tires with me. I'll never buy a boat sight unseen again no matter how cheap it looks

[@gofish2233]

@@stillaliveboatflips Haha, they just wanted it gone! What would you have done if the trailer wasn't functional? I'm only looking at the local lots and some of the trailers are busted up so I'd need to hire a transporter with a flatbed I guess.

[@bunit3691]

Lil lamb.... nice mask

[@gnarly706]

They probably don't make as much as the person who owns the boat.

What a crybaby. The trailer alone is worth $1200 or better! Plus you have a boat skis, top. What did you expect a clean and pristine boat?

[@stillaliveboatflips]

Thanks for watching! 😂

[@alien4fish]

buy a boat sight unseen?? NOPE!! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS SEA TRIAL the vessel 1st. if the seller says no .... move on to the next one. Somethng is all bad with a boat the won't sea trial.PERIOD

[@VH-vlogs]

So this was not a poker game, it was an Auction of a boat, come on, too much bs to start with

[@stillaliveboatflips]

I agree. I guess I was trying to show the process of the whole day. If I could edit again I would.

[@aeroshack]

Man spell check your captions, your worse then me😉

[@stillaliveboatflips]

Dang.. Was hoping no one would notice 😆

[@paulgrimm]

I’m worn out watching you
