Our goal is to give
you a fair wholesale price and pay you for your boat quickly.
As wholesalers we are buying your boat for the purpose of reselling it to a
retail or wholesale buyer. We obviously need to make a profit as well
as deliver a safe, properly functioning, quality boat to a happy customer.
We hope that every customer we deal with, both sellers and buyers, are
satisfied with the transaction.

Step 1 - WRM Used Boat
Appraisal
– Please email us a detailed description
(model, year, hours, equipment, etc.) of your boat along with current
pictures of your boat and trailer. Please include photos of the
engine, outdrive, canvas and cushions. Make sure that you take
specific photos of any areas that are damaged. It is important to
represent your boats condition accurately. The more detailed pictures
and information we have the better the value we can give you. This is
the time to let us know if you are aware of anything wrong with your boat.
·
Purchase Agreement
– If we agree on a price we will fax or email you a Purchase Agreement to
sign. Please return the signed Purchase Agreement along with copies of
both boat and trailer titles. (Don’t fax titles. Copy first,
then fax.) If your boat has a lien we will need to see a copy of your lien
release or current bank information so we can call them for a payoff.
·
Deposit
– If you have a PayPal account we can send you a $500.00 deposit to secure
the deal. This deposit must be refunded if we do not accept the boat
after inspection.
·
Clear title
– We cannot buy your boat and trailer unless we can get clear title.
If you have a lien from a bank, that’s not a problem, we will handle the
payoff for you.
·
Owe more than your boat is
worth? –
We can work with you and your bank to help
get the boat sold, the bank paid off and your credit left unharmed.
Remember as much as you may want to sell your boat your bank doesn’t want it
either. Times are tough and everybody knows it, including your bank.
Don’t force the bank to repossess your boat. Repossession hurts
everyone except the lawyers. There are much better alternatives.
Please call us if you have any questions.

Inspection and payment
–
As the contract states we will need to inspect and survey your boat, motor
and trailer before final payment. We can do it at one of our
facilities or at a location convenient to you.
-
Inspection at our location
– Delivering the boat to us at one of our locations is the easiest for
us and also allows us to pay you the most for your boat. You can
either drop the boat off or make an appointment to have the boat
inspected while you wait. Payment can be made immediately after by
check or bank wire depending on the circumstances. While the boat
is with us for inspection we ask that you hold onto the boat and trailer
titles until you confirm payment.
-
Inspection by local mechanic
– Sometimes it’s just not convenient for us to come to you or you to
come to us. In these cases we will find a local certified mechanic
in your area, who we both are comfortable with, to perform the
inspection. We may ask you to deliver the boat to his shop in
order to get things done quickly. After the boat is inspected and
given the OK we will wire the balance to your account. After you
have confirmed receipt with your bank you release the boat to us.
The boat will be picked up in a few days. Titles should be mailed
to us directly.
-
Inspection at your location
– Sometimes when
convenient, we can come to your boat, perform our inspection and if
everything is OK, have you sign documents and hand you a bank check.
This process costs us more and may result in a lower purchase price.

Things to remember prior to
inspection–
-
Please make
sure your motor will start and the batteries are charged. If you
can’t do this, please let us know.
-
Please make
sure that the trailer brakes and lights work properly. We also
need to know that the wheel bearings are in working order and have been
greased.
-
Check to see
that your trailer’s VIN plate is clearly legible. Most states will
not perform an inspection without it. Please let us know if it is
not.
-
Remember to
provide a full Coast Guard package with your boat.
-
Also
remember the following items:
-
Electronics and
manuals
-
Canvas
-
Cushions
-
Keys
