Please convince us it gets better!

Buying our first boat we hoped would be one of the most exciting things we had ever done but it has been turned into a time of unparelled stress, worry and sleepless nights by a Broker who :-
1, Basically couldn't give a s--t once the deposit cheque cleared.
2, offered no help or assistance on essential equipment required, tuition, basic help on boat systems, the list goes on and on,
3, Never 'phoned us with purchase negotiation progress report, we had to do all the chasing.
4, continually broke promises about final negotiations, delivery dates and possible moorings.
5, presented an Invoice on final delivery for works carried out predelivery which is indecipherable and from the bits we can read would give Grimms fairy stories a run for their money.
We may be doing Brokers in general a disservice but based on our experience they have replaced Double Glazing and Fitted Kitchen Salesmen at the top of our hate list.
Its got to get better , hasn't it ?

Hmm! Yes, whilst I agree that they seem to be most unhelpfull. You need to understand the roll of a broker. Think of him more like a solicitor, that your buying a house though. He knows nothing about building work or the loction. Same with a broker. He's not like a garage. Whilst it might seem only right that they know something about boats, this might well not be the case. They just know how to sell them. Or think they know.

Tell us what sort of boat your buying and what you expect out of it. Then we can tell you about equipment. Might also be able to help with moorings and tuition.
