I sold a 20' Bayliner on consignment with Fays several years back. They got a good price for it and managed things nicely. I was very pleased with the amount of time it took and the bottom line $$$ back to me.

After selling the Bayliner, I then bought a new 22' Chaparral from Fays. Oddly when I decided I needed a bigger boat to live on an island, Fays seemed pretty cool about reselling it for me (probably because I bought a SeaRay).

I put it on Craigslist at a pretty fair price (under NADA). I did manage to sell it after about 6 weeks. On craigslist you'll get a bunch of responses from people willing to pay about 1/2 the price you ask and a bunch of traffic from boat resellers looking to list your boat.
