I look at some individual brokers' sites occasionally but it seems that whatever they have rolls up into Yachtworld anyway. Are there any that allow you to key in -bavaria -beneteau -hunter etc so you can eliminate a lot of what you don't want to see? Not critical, just curious thanks Hoges in WA www.sailingtexas.com Covers most of the US, and the near islands. -- Richard Lamb http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb/ Sailingtexas is about the most popular I've seen. The free sites like this have driven boattrader almost out of business here in FL. There used to be 4-5 seperate books for the state but now we're down to 1 and it's pretty thin. I avoid brokers like the plague so I just use Yachtworld for the pretty pictures. Why so anti-broker? I thought they were supposed to act ethically etc etc. hoges in WA I won't cast aspersions on their characters but I will say that I'd rather skip paying a brokers commision and I can find a surveyor wherever the boat happens to be. I'd rather tour a boat with the owner than someone else (like me) that knows nothing about it. With the cheapy TomTom in my truck, finding a boat in an unfamiliar town isn't much of a challenge anymore either. As for the documentation, it was recommended to me by a friend to hire a specialist" (whatever these people are called) to do mine for a mere $400. I downloaded and printed the form and did it myself. Saved my $400 and IIRC it took all of about 15 minutes to prepare. I sent the forms and check to the CG and they sent back the documentation so I must not have made too many mistakes! Mine was previously documented when I bought it. The previous owner's wife had died, but the only additional complication was getting a copy of the death certificate, since she was on the title. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
