Default Selling a boat

Mike, lots of great points made in previous posts and to your points:

1) No trailer, No problem
2) Registration never a problem as long as buyer has bill of sale which can be hand written.
3) Consignment? Excellent question, just must understand that you loose the boat for the period that the boat is under consignment. Do not worry about CL as most sales Depts will photograph your boat and place those photos not only on CL but a wide variety of publications

Consignment makes sense if you want maximum exposure quickly as lots of people walk into marinas every day during the summer season.
Typically they will examine your boat and discuss "book value pricing", remove the boat from the water and display. The boat will be covered at the close of the day and whenever bad weather moves in. All demos and sales are their responsibility and undertaken 7 days a week. Yes 10% is the going rate.
