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?

A year ago, I had a broker like that. He had the boat 90 days and did
nothing with it. I waited for the contract to expire, then posted it
on Craig's List. Sold it in a week. Sold another boat, a Maxum 2400,
last fall in 3 days on Craig's List. Finally, two weeks ago, sold our
final 25' express cruiser, a Regal 2465, for full price, in two
days...on Craig's List.

Point is....you may not need a broker. Just post a full description
with pictures, a fair/firm price, and see what happens. Be ready to e-
mail more pictures when asked. Finally, screen the inquiries. I
didn't show the boat unless I was certain the party was sincere. Ask
blunt questions. It's your time they are potentially wasting.
