[C320-list] Good News / Bad News

[tharrison at innovations-plus.com]

You kinda did start the debate! So I have to ask why you think your services are worth, let's say $8,000 dollars. 

I used a broker to purchase my boat. I would have to say overpriced and lax in approach. I had to threaten to get my lawyer involvement. In addition the hold back was not used and should have been for discovers after deliver and acceptance of boat (let's say 10 days). Not even explain. So having gone the distance with a broker, because I was completely new and I was my first boat, I am not sure I would take that approach a second time.

The money could be better spend on four surveys. Normal for insurance, mechanical, rigging and general more in-depth including a 3 year replacement plan.

My boat was purchased in USA and a USA surveyor was used, and it was a well done survey.

So I am asking what value added are you going to provide for $8,000 or 100 hours? Please do not use Bull S... to baffle brains... been there done that, never going back again.... So here is your chance, go for it.......

Congratulations on the new boat and good luck selling your 320.
Don't want to start a debate, but I would never buy or sell a boat worth more than $10k without a broker's involvement.   Most are more than worth the 10% commission it costs.  (And yes, I'm a yacht broker.) fair winds,DarylC320 #660 BelieveRochester, NY

Good News - Linda and I this afternoon closed on a 2006 Catalina 387.  

 

Bad News - Linda and I this afternoon closed on a 2006 Catalina 387.and still own a Catalina 320!  If anyone knows of anyone looking for a loaded, pristine-clean boat and you think his boat might be for them, please send them our way.  We'd obviously prefer to not use a broker.

 

Thank you!
