I plan to put my boat on the market this weekend. I am still debating either a broker or trying it on my own. I live 70 miles from the boat and off on weekends.

If I go at it by myself what is best medium? Boattrader?

Thanks.

If you want to go it alone, Anglers Edge Marine offers a serives for $250.00 that gets you ton of exposure, and Bob gets results.

Google them

List it on craigs list and ebay, that's how I sold mine. I also listed it with Anglers Edge with no results.

Showings are going to be tough if the boat is 70 miles from your house. I'd find a broker.

I would wait till next February and list it with a broker.

I tried selling boats by owner and had luck only with a 21 footer I owned many years ago.

BIGGER BOAT - BROKER

Th BROKER takes the emotion out of the deal.

His job is to bring the seller & buyer together.
