So how busy can a boat broker really be?

Stilllauco, what issues or service are you referring to, were talking brokered boats. Once its yours its all yours. No more broker involvement.

Dancin Dave,

For instance, on my boat the GPS antenna went bad within the first month I had it, and they came out and replaced at no charge. Same thing with the genny battery.

This was not something written in the contract, but my dealer realized this was not my first nor last boat, and has tried very hard (even 2+ yrs after owning it) to make sure I am very satisfied with THEIR service... That's all...
 
I think what this thread needs is my own unique perspective....and as soon as I find it I'll be sure to share.
Until then feel free to keep repeating yourselves.
 
What, I go away for 3 or 4 hours doing some real work and there is 3 more pages. I need more popcorn.:lol::smt043:lol:
Now where is that bunny, here bunny, bunny:thumbsup:
 
Stillauco, nice relationship! Stick with them. Very unique dealer. Generally with a brokerage you will not see this. Kudos to them
 
I am not even going back to read 13 pages of this, if you said something to offend someone oh well don't let it happen again. :grin:

I think it is pretty simple. If you don't like the way the broker is handling the sell then don't use them. If someone like Frank tells you how they have helped many people on this board buy a boat all of which come back and say numerous times how much they appreciate it and how easy and impowering it was, and you don't like the advice don't use it, if you don't like the boat don't buy it, if you don't like this board, don't use it. Everything in life is a choice, you choose it.

Who is this directed at?
 
Dancin Dave, what's the calendar/note with the push pin under your name all about? Just curious.
 
My last boat was located about 4 hours away. I told the broker this was the boat/model that I had been looking for a few years. I asked the broker to send me a few pics of the ER. I got my ER pics and about 20 pics in total with very good detail. Ultimately, we bought it. Service means something different to everyone, I guess.
 
Yeah Wes, someone posted nude pics somewhere in the middle of the thread.
 
I saw nasty pics of my boat from the Craigslist ad I saw. My First instinct was to pass, it looked pretty haggard. This was not a brokered boat but my point is that boat "DOES" need to be looked at first hand regardless of the amount of pictures.

Once I saw it, and made my serious offer, is when the real negotiations began. Some may remember that thread, but it was YOU GUYS(especially Frank) that kept me in the game that this one was worth pursuing, saved me a ton of money....and a "taking Pants Down" class.

I agree that making it clear you're interested in buying a specific boat or buying a boat in general, rather than tire kicking to get the attention you want.

Best of Luck

My 260DA is For sale for $785,000. Jim, will you take my boat on brokerage contingent towards that 52' you just listed?....then I'll just have to figure out a way to afford to propell it through the water.

Actually, the debate has been quite mellow in my mind.

At least this is boating related, as opposed to discussing something like, say, Olympic Level Women's Beach Volleyball.

(I may not buy the 52' after that though, if you want me to buy that one, standard brokerage fees apply.)
 
This thread is a train wreck. I don't want to keep looking. I just can't help it.
 
Hey, where did everyone go? hello? Is it friday?
