Hi,
I'll admit right here at the front that I have put this in the 'ask the broker' section as well, but I'll ask you as an owner also (because you might not see this there).
I have a 2002 year 240DA that I bought about 15 months ago before moving to southern Florida and have determined that it is not the correct type of boat for where I'm at.
So, I'm wanting to sell the boat using a broker. I have a trailer for it and am happy to trailer it to a suitable broker location that isn't too far away. So, my question(s):
-Where should I trailer it to? I'm happy going as far as Atlanta or even eastern Tennessee if there is a compelling enough reason to do so. I would also be happy going to somewhere like Lake Martin in Alabama. My goal is the same as everyone else's.. to get max dollar after costs, storage fees, etc. So, if there is one lake or region that typically sells faster or for more money that is the type of information that I'd love to have. Do you have one that you favor?
I am wanting to put the boat on the market soon so it can be used by a happy family for this boating season. When should I plan to take the boat to the broker? [i.e, yesterday, March 1, April 1, May 1.. etc] Here in southern Florida you can boat year 'round but when does the season really heat up near whatever lake you like in the general 'southeast' area?
Once I have picked a general lake/location I can start doing research on brokers in the area but am hoping I can get some help in these preliminaries.
Thanks!
