Ahhh...brokers.
Good point, but that begs the *real* point.... that one becomes a boat
broker by simply declaring that they are .....

Thus, the truth of the matter is, that "poof" we have created a person
masquerading as a company selling wares that he doesn't own nor,
likely, even have in his possession.... he isn't licensed (except,
perhaps, a business license).... he isn't regulated.... he must meet
no standards of honesty, training, experience, knowledge......


Whoa. The difference between a yacht broker and an real estate


Real estate brokers here have background checks, have to have a certain
number of years of experience, have to study for and pass exam, et cetera.

"Yacht Brokers" have to...what? Fog a mirror?

I'd like Chuck to point out the experience, training, licensing, moral and
ethical differences between a Yacht Salesman and a Buy Here-Pay Here used
car salesmen. I don't know why he chose to compare yacht sales and real
estate sales.
