Thinking about selling your boat?

How do you sell your boat? It can be a frustrating experience – the advertising, the calls, showing the boat, the legal paperwork. If you want to avoid the hassle, just give us a call or send us an email. We will handle everything from start to finish and make sure you get your money upon the sale. You will never have to deal with the buyer.

We will do all the research for pricing and then give you advice based on a lifetime of experience as to what the boat will sell for. We will begin advertising with an agreed upon selling price and monitor the response of the buyers. We will keep you informed with all reasonable offers. If we don't receive responses, then a price adjustment will be recommended. The brokerage agreement is simple, easy, and does not tie you into a long agreement.

The optimum selling season is from January until mid July. So if you want to sell, start as soon as possible with advertising in December or January. Usually, in season, we can sell a boat within 45 day,s if the pricing is within market. We need the boat located here on the Happy Boaters lot in Cartersville to make the process efficient. Bring us your boat, or tell us where it is locally, and we will pick it up. Our sales commission is 10% of the selling price or a minimum of $1,000, if the boat is under $10K. For more information, give us a call and let's get started!

The way of happy boaters….

As life moves through one chapter to another, the way we enjoy boating changes. When we are young it is all about the personal boat. We are generally perfectly happy to be on the water, alone or with friends...enjoying the wind in our faces and the thrill of the lake. As the next chapter opens, we want to bring our growing family to boating.

So a different boat is needed to accommodate a new boating style with children and the many fun hours it brings... enjoying water sports, swimming, fishing and happily cruising the lake. The Empty Nest chapter brings us the desire for another type of boating experience as we continue to look forward to those peaceful boating escapes on the water. Grandchildren come along and....well, time for a change.

When the times of your life are nudging you for changes in your boating style, contact us. We will help you sell your boat or maybe you’d like to trade it in for something on the lot that fits your new boating desires. We are always scouting the market for deals with our customers in mind. We enjoy helping you stay a Happy Boater for life!

Life is better on the water!
