Selling a 2016 Lund, 22k. Would you buy without being allowed to test drive? If you’ve sold a boat how did you work a test drive? Thinking proof of funds/something in my hand before it it’s the water.
the way dealers and brokers do it, contract agreed price, deposit required(10-20%), deal based on water test evaluation. If the boat does not perform to the buyers expectations, deposit returned, contact nullified. If the buyer can not come up with the balance due within an agreed amount of time, seller keeps deposit and boat goes back on the market. No dealers will give you a test ride without a deposit and a signed contract, unless they are on the water or having a boat show.

would it be worth consigning it to a dealer and letting them take their cut to not deal with it?
no. not complicated, show up at their bank/CU with the boat. get paid, hand over title. done.
well I suppose that would depend on what the dealer wants for a fee.
maybe it's worth it to OP to not deal with it for a thousand dollars.
and I would never buy a boat without a test ride, and certainly not a 22K dollar one. so no, it's not that easy.

he didn't say dealer, he said broker. There are some seriously shitty boat brokers out there, Popyachts being the shittiest.
Dealer isn't necessary either! Obviously the business end of the deal gets handled after all the tire kicking and joy rides.
REALLY easy.
Sure that's an option. a shitty one, but so is fucking a blender. However, I do recommend you try it.no, he didn't. He literally asked for his options to make sure that he doesn't get fucked on a deal.
one of those options is consigning it to a dealer and letting them deal with it.

don't be butthurt because your reading comprehension sucks.
yea, i didn't take the time to read a bunch of posts by dipshits on a 4x4 site about selling a boat. can ya blame me?
OP: get cash, a cashiers check, or go to whoever is financing it. don't sign title over till your paid.
happy manche?
obviously not.
i'm shitposting on the internet.
it's just a cry for help.
no, really I'm fine. Try not to take shit on the internet so personally.
Why the fuck would anyone pay 22k for a used riveted boat? Christ for 22k that aluminum tub better be fully welded. I wouldnt pay 22k for a brand fucking new riveted boat. My father in law had a LUND and he insisted we use his boat on "his" lake. I really dont understand the following those shit piles have. I have never seen a lund over five years old that didnt leak.
Just go take the buyer for a ride.
Not going to give it to a broker or dealer. Can handle the transaction. Bought and sold cheap ones. I sure as shit wouldn’t buy one for this amount of cash without a test drive either. I’m 40 minutes to the nearest launch and didn’t want to waste my time with a tire kicker for a test drive.
