FREE BOATU.S. GUIDE TO BUYING AND SELLING A BOAT
NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE AT BOATUS.COM

Have you found a great deal on a used boat and want to know if there
have been manufacturer recalls that needed correction or major
complaints from other owners? Do you know what the fine print means in
a sales contract? Or, if you're selling a boat, do you know what an
"exclusive listing" means?

The answers to these questions and many more are answered in a free
guide, Buying and Selling a Boat, from BoatU.S. Consumer Affairs. It is
now available online at http://www.BoatUS.com/guide

The 34-page guide will help the novice navigate unfamiliar waters and
remind the seasoned boat owner of landmarks to steer by and trouble
spots to avoid when trading up or selling. Unlike buying an automobile,
the guide explains what to look for when buying a new or used boat,
such as manufacturing standards, surveys and sea trials. Also likely to
be unfamiliar to the prospective boat owner - and clearly spelled out
in the guide - is information on warranties, federal documentation,
osmotic blisters, marine insurance and boat loans.

For sellers, there's a checklist to help evaluate your boat's
condition, information on the pros and cons of selling on your own
versus using a broker, and how to write a sales agreement. Important
information is also included on how to use the BoatU.S. Consumer
Bureau's free services, including the boating industry's only Recall
Alert Registry that tracks safety defects for new and subsequent boat
owners, the only national online complaint database for boats, engines
and service providers such as boat dealers, and a dispute mediation
program.

BoatU.S. - Boat Owners Association of The United States - is the
nation's leading advocate for recreational boaters providing its
640,000 members with a wide array of consumer services including a
group-rate marine insurance program that insures nearly a quarter
million boats; the largest fleet of more than 500 towing assistance
vessels; discounts on fuel, slips, and repairs at over 825 Cooperating
Marinas; boat financing; and a subscription to BoatU.S. Magazine, the
most widely read boating publication in the U.S. For membership

It may be a difference in fomat. As originally printed, the guide may
have been in a "booklet" form that would have required more pages than
when reduced to pdf

New selling season??? So Chuckles goes back to his full spam

Shame on you K. Nobody can ever be OK by your rules, can they?

I post a link to a consumer advocacy site with information that might
be useful to somebody considering the purchase of a boat and you decry
that as spam. You seem to get grumpy every year about this time.
Another disappointing Austral summer at your boatyard have you
worried about making it through the upcoming winter? Diesel outboard
sales falling off? You might want to see what goes on in your life
every autumn to make you so downright combative and unpleasant. You're
almost tolerable on your best days, it would be nice if there were a
few more of them.

Why not say something positive once in a while, (and "I'm positive
you're a butthole" won't be counted in your favor.) :-)

Bingo.. you hit it on the nose.
While the normal world is excited about spring and the upcoming summer,
Mz Oz has an early case of the winter blahs.
