1) what's some of the best site to find boats listed for sale?

2) how hard is it to find a dealer that takes trade ins? I would like to get a newer bigger boat (have 36ft Silverton 1995) but don't want to wait a summer or longer to wait for mine to sell. Is trading in a option?

Visit all of the dealers in your area and ask who takes trades.

Very rarely will you find a dealer who takes trades on used boats, you need to buy a brand-spanking new one (and take a beating on the price) to trade yours in.
 
My Silverton Dealer took my last three boats in on trade on used vessels. Sold each of them within a week. Depends on the condition of your trade and if you are willing to take the wholesale value of the boat you're trading. He made a good profit on each one. Heck, he's taken my old Silverton 31 in on trade 4 times since he sold it new. It's been a cash cow for him.
 
I would see what a dealer would give you then try to sell it own your own for more if it doesn't sell quickly move forward with the trade. Don't expect them to offer much they are in business to make money and boats are very hard to sell these days.
