Frequently Asked Questions
Buying a boat is a big deal, and we are grateful for your business. The Moss Boats operation depends on trust, transparency, and a seamless transaction process. We understand there will be a multitude of questions that come with your purchase and we are here to answer all of them. Browse common questions below and feel free to Contact us at any time!
What kind of boats do you sell?
At the moment we really like fishing boats. The 21-24’ range seems to be a popular size. Anything with an outboard is awesome. So walk arounds, center consoles, dual consoles, cabins, etc. We do like the idea of 4 strokes the best. However, they are also more expensive and sometimes harder to sell since it is more of an advanced boat for the community. If it is clean, runs good and ready to go, we are interested!
Are these boats registered with titles?
We register every boat and trailer in our names. We pay taxes. We have the proper paperwork. And we have clean titles when they go up for sale. Everything we do is legal and legit.
What if something happens to the boat during transport?
Once we have our transport team come and pick up the boat from you, you are off the hook. If something happens to the boat along the way, you are not responsible. We understand that trailers have issues, especially when towing them sometimes 2,000+ miles. We have an experienced transport team willing to take on the challenge of shipping these boats safely across the country.
I have heard a lot about scammers lately, is this legit?
100% legal and legit. We built this site in order to be as transparent as possible. Wire transfers are extremely safe and reliable. They are also non-refundable. A wire transfer is a transaction between one bank to another. The account number you provide is linked to your bank account and where the funds will be deposited. It only takes a few minutes for the wire to go through. And once it does, that money is yours to keep no matter what. It cannot be reversed.
How will I know when the wire transfer goes through?
You will be notified via email or text from the bank that you have received a wire transfer deposit. You can log into your bank account and see the funds immediately. Just like depositing cash, that money is made available to you right away.
How can you buy a boat without seeing it?
You can tell pretty quickly the condition of a boat just by looking at photos. Couple that with a detailed description and a video call, and we have a good idea of what we are getting ourselves into. Most boats these days are very strong. If it is a model year 2000+ the hulls are very sturdy. They don’t get soft spots, they don’t have wood. They are just solid fiberglass hulls ready to last a lifetime. If the engine starts up, doesn’t make any abnormal noises, doesn’t smoke, and runs strong… you can almost guarantee that you have a strong running outboard that's ready to take on an adventure.
