I would b happy to pay a broker 10% if they can sell my boat.
Never used one before.

Heck I would pay anybody 10% if they send me a customer that buys it.

I think it depends on your broker! I used popyatchs for a while but ended selling it myself. I also ended up dumping it b/c I got impatient and didn't want to wait til summer activity.

Unless you have someone like Eddie who will actively sell your boat and answer potential questions and generally knows and can sell!! I almost bought a 29 ol from him while I tired to sell mine.

If I would try to sell my 33 ol, I would attempt to trade it in if possible as I got a deal on it. Winter is coming and market is going to slow down.

What kind of cc?

Florida sales are year round but in 2/3 of the country the boats are in hibernation......

Cool

Would you use a realtor to sell a property? I would broker as they can sniff out a tire kicker better than i, and if they don't..... Its thier time, not mine.

And we would use it all winter lol.

When it sells it sells is our take. Not rushing it, we still love her.
