Dumpster Diving

While I normally gravitate toward buying stuff new, I've had pretty good success finding perfectly acceptable secondhand gear.  These are usually opportunistic purchases where I may not have made the expenditure for an item, but buying used represents a great deal.  My primary source for used stuff is my local Craigslist site, but I've also picked up a few items at nautical flea markets and such.  My successes to date include:

• Raymarine hydraulic autopilot (purchased as a spare)
  
• 14' Porta-Bote
• 8HP Yamaha 2-stroke outboard
• 44# Delta anchor
• 60# Danforth anchor
• 21" Polyform ball fenders
• Explorer charts and assorted cruising guides for the Bahamas
• Anchor kellet
• North Sails storm sail
• Todd 1000 helm seat
• Garmin 276C handheld GPS
• Fortress FX-55 anchor
• Throttle and shift cables
• Trace 2500W Inverter (spare)
• AB 12VS Rigid Inflatable
• 25HP Mercury 2-stroke outboard
  
• Airline 4-person diving hookah
• Raymarine ST 60 Wind Repeater
• Ocean Kayak Malibu Two
• Fortress FX-55 anchor #2
• Avon 3.10 Air Floor inflatable
• ICOM M710 SSB radio & AT-130 tuner
