BUC has revolutionized the way boats are valued, bought and sold.
We published the first BUC Used Boat Price Guide in 1961, and have been
compiling information about used boats ever since using the most modern
data processing techniques available. Today, there are 4 times as many
boats as there were in 1961. The number and variety of used boats on today's
market can be overwhelming. Buying or selling a boat has become increasingly
complex, and without dependable information, finding the perfect buyer
or seller is like scudding under bare poles. Why take a risk? Let BUC's
technology make you a better broker.
BUC has kept pace
with market growth through hard work and technological foresight. Hundreds
of thousands of used boat sales reports have been gathered by mail and
enhanced dramatically by sales transactions received through BUCNET, BUC's
Worldwide Multiple Listing Service. With such timely market data, we can
accurately predict the latest turns in the used boat marketplace. This
ability makes BUC the undisputed, authoritative source of current market
prices.
BUC has established
the benchmark for accuracy for 40 years.
We are a proven company with a foundation built on practical experience
and our unique understanding of the marine industry. Our 40-year reputation
for integrity and service, along with our commitment and dedication to
the industry, set us apart. The most successful dealers, brokers, marina
operators, marine surveyors, manufacturers, insurance organizations, finance
companies, banks, credit unions and governmental agencies rely upon BUC
for useful, accurate and unbiased information.
BUC is independent
and unbiased, neither affiliated with anyone, nor in anyone's back pocket.
BUC is a privately owned, independent company indifferent to the success
or failure of any particular manufacturer or dealer. This unbiased, impartial
approach allows us to "tell it like it is". Unlike other listing
services, we do not have any cozy relationships with manufacturers or
dealers that influence our placement of listings. We take pride in the
fact that we are under no pressure to recommend or hype any commercial
product.
