    Boat search?

    I always start at MARINA's. Normally more boats for sale in Marina's than at the dealers. Better deals to be had. As with anything, get a survey

    Shipping a boat

    No offense taken. I was just trying to make sure you understood what I was trying to do (as far as brokering the load out) I also never double broker a load.
