Selling a boat

Keep in mind that the buyers are sometimes as skeptical as you are as a seller. They often have a lot more confidence buying from a dealer, and if it is a large dollar purchase and financing is involved it makes it much easier.

I bought a boat last summer from texas. It was a very unique boat that I really wanted. It was on consignment and I don't think I'd have bought it if it was from a private seller. There wasn't financing involved, but I had the comfort of buying from a very reputable dealer that I "knew" from another boating forum.
