We Specialize in Fresh Water Boats "SELLERS"
"WANTED" "WHY YOU WANT TO BUY A FRESH WATER BOAT!!!"
Three key factors cause the majority of the wear and tear on most boats. They are saltwater, sun and usage. (1) Inland boats sit in fresh water, not in corrosive salt water. (2) The further north you go, the less intense the sun, and hence, the less intense the amount of sun fade on the gelcoat and canvas. (3) Finally and most importantly is the length of the boating season. Most southern or coastal boats sit in the water year round, are used year round, and do not get pulled out from time to time in order to give their hulls the opportunity to dry out. A fresh water boat that is located inland, typically gets used 3 to 4 months of the year, then gets pulled and stored, either covered on the hard deck or inside stored in a heated facility. These boats have the least amount of exposure to these 3 harsh elements, and typically the further north you go, the nicer the boats. Our advice to our clients is always the same, "Buy a fresh water boat located in the northern section of the country."

We are different than most brokers. We use a "SPECIAL PROCESS" to save you time and money when purchasing a boat when there is considerable distance between you and the boat you are interested in. This is called the ”Buyer Introduction To Seller Approach” where we will let you talk directly with the owner of the boat to answer any questions you might have before making a trip for personal viewing. Who else would you rather have show you the boat but the owner himself? He knows the boat best, and you can ask questions and get answers direct. Most brokers do not want you talk to the owner because they are afraid he may say something that makes you not want to buy the boat. If we get negative feed back on a boat, we pull it because there is usually distance to be traveled to see the boat. We don’t want to waste your time or money to be disappointed in the condition of the boat. We are also wasting our time and money advertising it. Our attitude is, “There are lots of very nice boats for sale so do not waste your time on the ones that are not nice!” Let some other broker sell it. Our commission is only 5% and having less commission cost allows the boat to be more competitively priced. Most times a seller has a net amount they’re looking for. So if commission is less then you as a buyer save money by paying a lesser price then if it were a 10% commission or more, like most other brokers.
Our experienced staff will assist you in negotiating the best possible price, transportation quotes, survey, travel accommodations, financing etc. We provide you with as much information as possible so that you are able to make an informed decision before you take the time and expense to make a personal inspection. A prepurchase marine survey can be arranged for you by a certified surveyor that will give you their honest, professional opinion.
