Selling a boat
In my opinion, in the majority of cases, consignment is the way to go. Having your boat at a marina provides great exposure, and the opportunity for someone to test run the boat at almost anytime. Yes, you won't have the boat at your dock available for your use, but neither will you have people showing up at your house all odd hours wanting to "kick the tires", and then hassle you about the price.
Place the boat with a marina, establish your relationship with the salesperson and the commission involved, and then let them sell it for the best price. And, as a previous poster mentioned, they might be able to sell the buyer a trailer in the process.
Commission is truly a "no muss, no fuss" proposition.
