Wife and I are downsizing and going to switch to a stay aboard/trailer boat. Our jobs just don't allow us enough time to use her to cruise to other ports we want to visit. Looked at a few “skinny” older Marinettes that would be street legal to haul but most needed a lot of work to modernize with some of the conveniences we currently have. This is by far the nicest, roomiest, most comfortable boat we’ve had in the 25 years of cruising we have under our belts, gonna miss it! Jack H. at S & J Yachts in Rock Hall, Maryland has photos and description of her and we’re waiting to see what the contract terms will be. The boat is currently in the water at the Wicomico Yacht Club, Allen, Maryland.

10% is generally the rate for most brokered boats.

The more expensive the boat the more effort the broker will put in.

I listed my several years ago.. what a joke... Broker told me if not at least 80 grand they will not spend any money advertising.. just put it on Yachtbroker.com and let it sit.

Now I am sure there are some good brokers out there just in many years of boating I have not found one.

Sorry to hear you are selling. It is a beautiful boat.

safe boating,
