Frequently Asked Questions
How is LA Boat Dealer compensated for selling my boat?
You simply let us know your desired price for your boat, and we’ll list it slightly higher to cover our fee. Our revenue also comes from financing, warranties, and trade-ins – services that further enhance the attractiveness of your boat to potential buyers.
Is it possible to sell my boat if there’s a lien on it?
Absolutely! We have extensive experience collaborating with banks to ensure that your lien is properly settled. Rest assured, we handle all paperwork, ensuring a smooth transition of ownership to the buyer.
What’s the typical timeframe for selling my boat?
Selling times can vary based on market trends and seasonal demands for specific boat types. However, we maximize visibility by listing your boat on major platforms like Boat Trader, Boats.com, Facebook Marketplace, and various Facebook groups. Plus, there’s no rush – you can store your boat with us for as long as needed without incurring any storage fees.
Do I need to schedule an appointment to sell my boat?
Not at all! Drop by our dealership during business hours, and we’ll guide you through the selling process.
What documents should I bring when I’m selling my boat?
Please bring along all relevant paperwork for your boat, motor, and trailer (if you have one). This includes the boat title, registration, motor title, trailer title, and trailer registration. If there’s a lien and the bank holds the titles, that’s not an issue – we’ll handle it.
Once my boat is sold, do I need to come back?
Nope, your job ends once you bring the boat to us. We manage all the subsequent steps and will promptly send you a check once the sale is finalized.
