Buying from a private party, not a broker
Isn''t it true that the broker gets his cut?
If your boat sells for $100,000, (that being exactly what it''s worth) you get $90,000 and the broker gets $10,000. You loose $10,000!
I must confess, I''m bias on this issue.
When I bought my currant boat, my broker tried to rip me off. He deliberatly
dragged his feet after I submitted my deposit in an attent to let the time run out so he could keep it. As a result, I did every thing. I set up the survey, the financing,insurance,documentation, every thing. He did nothing and still got his ten percent! You have to be carefull. Alot of brokers never even see the boat!
I supose if you don''t have the time to show the boat, then
you might not have a choice.
