Don,
I bought my boat using a broker in Long Beach, Ca., and was a little leery of the used car salesman syndrome. However, when all was said and done i was quite pleased. He represented me well in the negotiations, handled the National Registry transfer, and allowed me to use their brokerage discount to buy some new electronics equipment.

I was also working with a broker here in Texas prior to the Ca. purchase, and have remained on a friendly basis with him since.

So i believe that though there are surely a few bad apples in the barrel, for the most part i agree that the majority of brokers are honest and hard working, with your interest in mind.
