List Your Outboard Free: First 100 Listings on the House
May 21, 2026 • OL Admin • 8 min read

Why We Are Doing This
Boat Trader charges $69 to $399 for a single listing. eBay Motors stacks listing fees on top of final value commissions. Facebook killed business page listings in 2023. Craigslist is a scam minefield. And the big marine classified companies? They are all owned by the same parent corporation now, so pricing only goes in one direction — up.
Meanwhile, the people who actually keep the marine industry running — the repair shops, the small-town dealers, the weekend mechanics, the hobbyists who know more about lower units than most certified techs — have no affordable place to move their motors.
That changes today.
Who This Is For
This is not a dealer incentive program. This is for the boots-on-the-ground marine community:
The Repair Shop With Trade-In Motors Collecting Dust
You know the situation. A customer brings in a 2018 Yamaha F150 for a rebuild quote. You tell them it will cost $3,200. They say “forget it, I will just buy new.” They trade in the old motor, you give them $800 off the new one, and now that F150 sits on a stand in the back of your shop for six months. Maybe you sell it to a buddy. Maybe it sits there until you trip over it enough times to put it on Facebook — where the only responses you get are “Is this still available?” from bots.
List it here instead. Our AI Outboard Scanner identifies the motor from a single photo. You confirm the specs, set your price, and the listing goes live to actual buyers who are searching by brand, horsepower, year, and zip code. No more Facebook tire-kickers. No more Craigslist scammers.
The Dealer With Motors “In the Back, On a Rack”
Every marine dealer has them. The leftover units from last season. The odd-lot trade-ins that do not fit your main inventory. The repowered pulls that are perfectly good motors but not worth the floor space. They sit on a rack in the back of your shop, depreciating by the month, tying up capital you could use for the models that actually move.
Free up that space. List them here for free. You already have the photos on your phone. The AI scanner does the data entry for you. Two minutes per motor. And when it sells, the money goes straight to you — we do not take a commission, ever.
The Hobbyist Who Wants to Upgrade
You have been eyeing that new Mercury V8 250 Pro XS for two years. But the math does not work until you sell your current motor. The problem? Selling a used outboard as an individual is a nightmare. eBay charges you coming and going. Boat Trader wants $99 minimum just to post it. Facebook Marketplace is where good listings go to die under a pile of “will you take $200” lowball messages.
List your current motor here for free. Reach actual buyers in your area who are actively shopping for exactly what you have. Sell it at a fair price. Then go buy that Pro XS.
Marine Resellers and Salvage Shops
You buy estate lots, insurance salvage, and auction motors. You clean them up, run them, and flip them. Your margin depends on low listing costs. Every dollar you spend on advertising is a dollar off your profit. Free listings mean your entire ad budget stays in your pocket — and your motors get in front of buyers who are actually looking for what you sell.
What You Get (For Free)
- AI-Powered Listing Creation — Snap a photo. Our GPT-4o scanner reads the cowling, identifies the make, model, year, HP, and stroke type automatically. Confirm, price it, done. Try it here →
- Up to 4 Photos Per Listing — Cowling, transom plate, serial number, prop — show buyers exactly what they are getting.
- Zip Code Searchable — Buyers search by location. Your motor shows up when someone within driving distance is looking for exactly what you have.
- Buyer Messaging System — Serious inquiries come through our platform. No phone number published unless you want it.
- Price Drop Alerts — Buyers who save your listing get notified the moment you adjust your price. Built-in urgency, no extra work on your end.
- SMS Text Alerts (Coming Soon) — Opt in for text notifications when a buyer messages you or when new matches appear for your saved searches.
- Voice Search for Buyers — Yes, buyers can literally speak into their phone and search your listing by voice. “Show me Yamaha 150 four-stroke under $8,000 near Jacksonville.” That is a real query that works right now.
- 5,000+ Engine Database — Every major manufacturer. Every model year going back decades. If it floats and has a motor, we probably have it cataloged.
How It Works
- Create a free account — Name, email, phone. Takes 30 seconds.
- Verify your phone number — We send a text. You enter the code. This keeps out the spam accounts and fake listings.
- Scan your motor — Take a photo. The AI fills in the specs. Confirm or correct anything it misses.
- Set your price and go live — Your listing is searchable immediately. Buyers in your area see it right away.
No listing fees for the first 100 individual listings. After that, our Individual package starts at $99 for two listings over 90 days — still less than what Boat Trader charges for a single ad.
What We Are NOT
We are not a broker. We are not a consignment service. We do not take a percentage of your sale. OutboardListings.com is a listing platform — you list it, you sell it, you keep the money. We just give you the tools and the audience to make it happen faster.
We also are not some venture-capital-funded startup that gives everything away free until they run out of money and shut down. We are Proxy1Media LLC, a real company out of Jacksonville, Florida. We built this platform with our own money. The free promo is a calculated move to fill the site with legitimate listings from real sellers — because that is what brings real buyers.
Already Listed on Another Platform?
Good. Keep it there. Cross-listing is smart. More eyeballs, more offers, faster sale. The difference is that listing here costs you nothing right now, and our platform puts your motor in front of buyers who are searching specifically for outboard engines — not scrolling through bass boats and kayaks to find one.
