Broker recommendation for Ranger Tugs, Seattle

[EdHut]

Who is the most knowledgeable or otherwise recommended as a broker to list our 2017 RT25SC, Tugbert. We're moored in Shilshole so a Seattle broker is desirable.

Will you be buying another boat? If so, that dealer/manufacturer would be the one to ask first, as you may be able to save sales tax (the price is applied as a trade-in, not as a sale) and perhaps even a discount brokerage fee, too. That's what we did when selling our C30.

If not, then I don't have specific recommendations although as the local Seattle Cutwater dealer, Sundance is very plugged into the general FM community.

We had really good results with BananaBoat up in Anacortes ... for one thing, he and his people know RT's ... anyway, they did a good job for us and his recommendations for surveyors (mechanical and BoB) was spot on. Good luck.

I'd second Banana Belt Boats in Anacortes. I purchased my R-27 from them in 2018 and they assisted with recommendations for surveyors and other trades to do some work after I purchased it. They even took my trailer to the Alaska ferry terminal and put it on while I was taking the boat up to Alaska at no cost. Much of the sale - purchase process was done from a distance as I was thousands of miles away through it all, except for my inspection and sea trial.

Very professional and helpful.

I realize Anacortes is not Seattle as you had asked but Banana Boats was pretty service-amazing for us, too. My boat did not come with a trailer so I had to scramble around to find one ... they took it and reset all of the bunkers and rollers and everything so that my R25 fit perfectly and made it easy to tow .... if I every upgrade (or downgrade on size) they would be my first call.

Ari Sherr at Denison in Seattle. He was the broker we used to buy our R-31 and was great.
