Hi,

This one's mainly for Chuck, because he's kinda local and in the
business, but feel free to leap in...

I don't like the broker currently selling my boat. He took over a
month to get the ad online, and another 2 weeks to get "full specs"
posted. Now I look at it, and half the specs are wrong, and he still
doesn't mention a bunch of things (like the sails, microwave, bbq,
GPS...) AND he still hasn't posted any pics of the interior. I made up
a website with full (correct!) specs and lots of interior and exterior
pics (with a link to him), but he's not using any of the info or pics
on the Yachtworld site.

I signed up with him on Feb 10 (kinda Long Story on why I signed with
him in the first place...) for I guess 90 days. Can I switch to
another broker after 90 days? Can I switch earlier? Or am I stuck with
him?

Read the contract.

I was afraid somebody was gonna say that... I can't find the contract
(signed it on the boat, and then spent the next month frantically
cleaning, removing Stuff, etc. so it's probably in one of the bags of
"stuff"...

AFAIK, it's a Standard Contract. Can somebody tell me what the
Standard Contract says?

The ones I am familiar with permit you to cancel the agreement at any time
but if the boat sells within a certain timeframe after contract cancellation
(usually 6 months) to a buyer who the original broker can prove that he
introduced the boat to or it was found as a result of the his/her efforts,
he/she may still be entitled to a commission.

This stuff can get touchy. Brokers like to get their commissions.
