Boats · RVs · Classic Cars — and a whole lot more
It hasn’t moved in months.
The storage bill hasn’t stopped.
You’re not using it — but you’re still paying for it, every month. And selling it yourself means strangers at your door, lowball offers, and a stack of title paperwork. So it’s easier to just keep paying. There’s another way. List it with us and you do almost nothing — we handle the buyers, the showings, the paperwork, and the title. You don’t pay a dime until it sells, and when it does, you walk with your number.
One simple rule: while we’ve got it, it’s ours to sell — we walk you through exactly how it works before you ever sign.
Boats, RVs, classic cars, autos, motorcycles, trailers, aircraft — even your business. If it has value, we can find a buyer.
The Reality of Selling It Yourself
Private Sale Sounds Good. Until It Doesn’t.
Here’s what actually happens — and why most Havasu sellers wish they’d called us first.
The Lowball Parade
Every Craigslist buyer opens with half your asking price. Most have never owned a boat. Almost none are serious. You spend your weekend filtering through them.
No-Shows & Tire Kickers
“I’ll be there Saturday at 10.” They won’t. You’ll block off your weekends four times before anyone actually shows up ready to buy.
Strangers at Your House
You have to invite people onto your property, answer their questions for an hour, let them poke around your boat — and then they walk without making an offer.
Title & DMV Nightmare
Arizona titles, hull ID numbers, lien payoffs, bill of sale language — one mistake and the deal falls apart or comes back six months later as someone else’s problem.
“What’s It Actually Worth?”
NADA is a starting point, not the market. What are comparable units actually closing at in Havasu right now? Most private sellers have no idea — and price themselves out of buyers or leave money behind.
Storage & Insurance Keep Running
Every month your unit sits unsold, you’re paying storage, insurance, and watching it depreciate. The clock doesn’t stop while you wait for the right buyer to find your Craigslist post.
Your Network Has 0 Buyers.
Ours Has 40 Years of Them.
We evaluate the unit, discuss the market, and explain the consignment service before you decide. Terms vary by unit and situation. See a dealer for the current written agreement and exact details before signing; the written agreement controls.
Website and advertising summaries are not the agreement. Your dealer will review the current written terms for your unit before signing.

What to Gather Before You Visit
Bring the basic facts and records you already have. Exact eligibility and document requirements vary by unit and situation; a dealer will give you the current checklist before you sign.
Basic Unit Information
Year, make, model, VIN or HIN, engine details, hours or mileage, trailer information, and current condition help the dealer start an accurate review.
Available Ownership Records
Bring the ownership, registration, lien, or payoff information you already have. The dealer will identify what else is required for your situation.
Service and Condition History
Service records, known issues, upgrades, recent work, and honest condition notes help the evaluation and buyer presentation.
Good Current Photos
Bring any useful exterior, interior, engine, hour-meter, mileage, trailer, damage, and equipment photos you already have.
Your Timing and Priorities
Know whether your priority is speed, convenience, market exposure, or a particular financial outcome so the dealer can discuss the available routes.
Questions for the Dealer
Ask about service scope, pricing approach, showing process, communication, written terms, and what the current agreement requires for your unit.
Selling to a California Buyer?
If your trailer or RV is titled outside California and your buyer is registering it in California, the state requires an out-of-state inspection — done right across the river in Needles. We know the drill and we handle it. It’s exactly the kind of curveball that trips up a private seller and costs them the deal — and it’s a non-event for us.
Full-Service Brokerage
Everything. Start to Finish.
This isn’t a listing service. Every item below is handled by our team — from the day you sign to the day you get paid.
Professional Photography
Photos that stop buyers mid-scroll. We know how to shoot units that sell — lighting, angles, on-water shots when applicable.
Multi-Platform Marketing
Boat Trader, RV Trader, our own high-traffic inventory site, and an active buyer list we’ve spent 40 years building. We don’t post and hope — we market.
Every Showing
We field every call, schedule every appointment, and show your unit ourselves at our lots. You never deal with a stranger at your house.
All Negotiations
Every lowball offer, every “will you take less?” — we handle it. Forty years of relationships mean buyers respect our process.
Title & All Paperwork
Arizona title transfer, hull ID verification, lien payoff coordination, bill of sale — handled cleanly so the deal closes and stays closed.
Current Terms. In Writing.
A dealer reviews the current written arrangement with you before signing. Terms vary by unit and situation, and the written agreement controls.
The Handoff
You’re Not Selling a Vehicle. You’re Passing One On.
Behind a well-kept used boat, there’s usually a story like this one.
Picture the owner who had it first.
He bought it new. He learned its sounds, kept it covered, and ran it every season — the kind of owner who changes the oil before anyone tells him to and keeps the receipts in a folder. For years it was Saturday mornings on the water and grandkids in life vests, until the summers got a little harder to make.
When it was time to let it go, he didn’t want to stake a sign in the yard and haggle with strangers over something he’d taken care of for fifteen years. He wanted it to go to someone who’d use it the way he did.
Now picture the family getting their first one.
They didn’t grow up around boats. They’re not looking for a project or a gamble — they just want a good one they can trust, at a number that doesn’t require a retirement account. The thing they’re most afraid of is getting burned on the biggest thing they’ve ever bought.
That’s the handoff. A boat one careful owner spent years looking after, going straight to the family just getting started — with somebody who knows both ends standing in the middle. The generation stepping ashore and the generation pushing off, under the same roof that’s done this on Lake Havasu since 1986.
That’s not a used-boat lot. That’s how a good boat finds its next family.
Let the boat you took care of go to a family who’ll love it. We handle everything — you collect the check.

“Purchased my first boat ever from Boat Brokers. They made it super seamless and genuinely cared. Scott was my salesman and did not pressure us at all like you would expect a salesman to do. He mindfully picked out several boats that were in our price range and skill set. He is very knowledgeable! We got to take the boat we choose out on the water for a test ride which was awesome. They also have their mechanics go over the boat prior to purchase for a piece of mind, which was very comforting. Shoutout to Gina their finance lady who helped us get everything finalized. Everyone was extremely helpful and kind. We will definitely be using Boat Brokers again in the future!”
“Boat Brokers from Lake Havasu are the best. My experience purchasing a Barletta Lusso from them was great. Tyler, the salesman, Rebecca in parts and customer service and Gina who did the paperwork were very accommodating and made sure I knew everything I needed to know about my new Barletta boat. This support has continued after I took delivery and got my boat back to Reno. They are a great Team!”
“By far, the best experience I ever had at a dealership, especially one that does consignments . I was in and out within a half an hour of making this purchase at The boat brokers . This was my first boat I ever bought and I’m looking forward to an awesome summer . I highly recommend looking first at The Boat Brokers inventory when you decide to make a purchase for Boats, Rvs , Cars . Scott in sales is very knowledgeable & to the point ! Gina in finance is fast & efficient . Go see them when you’re ready you won’t be disappointed .”
For Classic & Collector Car Sellers
What Drives Value on a Collector Car
A classic isn’t sold on year-make-model alone. Serious buyers pay for the details — and knowing your details is how you get top dollar. Here’s what we look at when we take a collector car on consignment, and what a real buyer will ask. The more of this you can speak to, the stronger your sale.
Under the Hood
Drivetrain & Mechanicals
Engine, transmission, gear ratio, rear end, fuel delivery (carb vs. fuel injection vs. throttle body), disc brakes front and rear, and whether it runs cool or has any overheating history. Buyers want to know what’s original, what’s been upgraded, and whether it’s built to drive or built to show.
Body & Glass
Overall Condition & Cosmetics
Overall body condition, any rust (and where), paint — body and top color. Glass condition matters too: chips and cracks factor into price. Tire age is worth knowing — collectors check date codes. Honest condition notes sell faster than glossed-over ones.
Interior
Stock or Redone?
Color, material, and condition. Stock original or professionally redone? A correct, well-kept interior is a major value driver on a collector car. Buyers will ask, so know the answer.
Factory Options & Aftermarket
What Came With It — and What Was Added
Original factory options can move the price meaningfully on a classic. Aftermarket equipment is worth noting too — both what was added and whether it’s documented. The right options package on the right car is real money.
The Build Story
This Is Where Collector Value Lives
If it’s a build: how old is the build, and who built it? A documented build by a known shop is worth real money. The story behind the car is part of the price — and buyers of serious collector cars expect to hear it.
The Paperwork
Proven Cars Command the Premium
Original bill of sale, window sticker, service receipts, title, registration, lien notes. Documentation is the difference between “claims to be” and “proven to be” — and proven cars command the premium.
Don’t have every detail? That’s fine — we help you document what makes your car special and present it the way collectors expect to see it. That’s the difference between a quick lowball and the price your car deserves.
