Once you have decided to dispose of your boat you must decide which method is the quickest and most financially rewarding, an outright sale or a property donation. In looking at a sale you must take into consideration all of the expenses entailed: dockage, depreciation, insurance, maintenance, storage, repairs, interest and sale commission are just a few. After you have signed a sale contract and the purchaser surveys the boat you probably will be met with more expenses. There are always unforeseen repair items that need to be corrected after a buyerﾒs marine survey. In most cases, the buyer expects the owner to adjust the sale price downward or have the owner pay for these repairs. Another problem in trying to sell your boat is the time factor.
