After years of chartering and going to boat shows without the checkbook it is time to start really looking. Now that I am not working any more it is either buy a boat or sit around the shredder with a stack of money. Spouse prefers the boat alternative. My questions are pretty basic at this point. We are not (currently) interested in buying new.

How is the best way to approach a search for a used boat? If we work with a broker, will they know where sellers have the specific models we might be looking for? Should we work with more than one broker or start with one?

Where can I get information on what used boats have sold for? Is there an equivalent of MLS to get comparables?

Thanks for any input.
