Just so you don't scare away any sensible people.....
I'd combine the first 3 items as.....
To be sold as a complete boat/motor/trailer package only. No exceptions!

If that doesn't do the trick...let the idiots waste gas and drive all the
way out to your place before kicking their butts back home.

I'd hook up the trailer to the truck, deliver it with the boat to a local,
trusted broker and let him sell it. Paying the 10% commission is well worth
it to avoid dealing with all the tire-kicking deal seekers.

Besides, I can't find a broker who will handle it for the money I want
for it.

Donate it to the local Boy Scout camp (assuming it is on the water) or kids
sailing club and take the tax donation.

A win-win situation.

Maybe he'd like to get the other 75% of the value also. (Depending on his
bracket, of course.)

I think you'd have a better chance of a Canadian buying it.
You're not that far from Ontario/Quebec

Absolutely! How much is one's time worth compared to that $450 or so
commission?

I like (shudder) Don's idea better. It doesn't sound so negative.
