I'm thinking of selling my boat. It's a 1986 Searay 268. What/how does
brokering it at the marina work as opposed to trying to sell it out
right. What are the pros and cons.
Thanks in advance.

It's sort of like selling a house. The broker will advertise it through
whatever means they use to make other brokers aware. They may also use
some direct advertising for your boat (and others they have). They will
show the boat to prospects and if they sell it, they will deduct their
commission from the selling price. They usually ask for 10%, however
you can negotiate with them BEFORE you sign a brokerage agreement. Most
agreements are for 90 or 120 days and are exclusive with the broker,
which means that they get the commission even if you sell the boat
yourself. This is not a bad time to work with a broker since people
will start to look for boats in the late winter and early spring. The
only question is how many people will be looking for boats.
Good luck.

One other thing to concider that a broker can offer is financing to the
new owner. This is a real advantage over selling it privately.
