I have mine with one now. They get a lot more exposure, They have financing, They keep it clean, They show it to all the tire kickers. In my opinion, its worth it. If it was a cheaper boat that someone would finance at their own bank, I may do it, but it takes the hassle out of it. I interviewed a couple of brokers, go with your gut, because not all of them are good. I went with the local fountain dealer. They have my boat on the front line, and keep it clean. They did charge me a 1 time $250 fee to keep it clean, but everytime i drive by, its clean. I dont think it will sell right now, with gas prices and winter coming, but it never hurts to try.

I have used a broker as well. I think that they will have more exposure and people are less tenative buying from a dealer than the a person. Also if something goes wrong with the boat they are more likely to go back to the broker than to the person selling. I have a boat I feel congfident to sell to anyone but you never know what someone may find and blame you for not disclosing.

I feel that a broker takes alot of that heat off of you. Also ask a little more for the boat and try to make up some of the cost of the fees.

I eventually gave up dealing with the moronic phone calls at all hours of the night, hours of wasting time with prospective non-buyers, so I handed my baja over to a broker. He did a lot more legwork than I had the time to do.
