Yeah, brokers are opposite of used car salesmen, they dont hound you, they never call you back, they dont try to be your best buddy. and brokers usually know boats. I was looking at a Bertram and the broker (some young kid who was fresh out of college and been a sales guy for 3 years) never returned my calls, replied to only one email and cant find any service records from the owner. Another broker I was dealing with about a Viking, I had called 6 times and on the final chance i called the office and he picked up the phone. It seems like brokers are lazy,, but im sure they are busy with other people too.
As far as the trailer goes, my buddy bought a formula 330 ss from Florida. He had it transported up here on a trailer. When the boat arrived we have the transport guy bring the boat to a local launch ramp and we transferred the boat to my trailer, so we could inspect everything with a fine tooth comb and we added some electronics to it while it was at my house.
