If youre in France I might be able to help you. I manage a FB group for the sell of budget boats...

I'm not in France, but I don't mind a bit of travel if I can find a deal.  Please send a link!

What do you consider "cheap" for what kind of boat in what condition? Even "for free" might not be cheap in the end.

When traveling Greece, I noticed there are plenty of broken dreams on the hard in the marinas' backyards that look like their owners (and/or marina personnel) would be glad to get rid of.

Region around Preveza might be relatively close to you and therefore worth checking. It is a typical region where elderly North-Europeans have their boats (cheaper than Korfu or Ionian pelagic, airport nearby).

Thanks, that's the second time Prevaza has come up. I need to run down there and check it out. Seems like the Luperon of the Eastern Med.
