I recently bought a boat after nearly 6 months of searching, and as a first timer, it was quite a process because I had to have it shipped by truck from Olympia to Portland and had to make several day trips up to checkout, survey, and test the boat, but found exactly the boat I wanted; it's been a few months, and I absolutely love the boat even more.
Kurt was a fantastic broker and assisted in arranging everything from finding available surveyors to finding a shipping company and scheduling the shipping to getting the boat ready to move when I couldn't be there as I lived an hour and half away. He answered every question I had, never once tried to push the sale or convince me to do anything; he did what a salesman should, he was simply there for whatever I needed and whatever questions or concerns I had.
I ran into some issues with shipping the boat because the trucker did not feel safe having the dingy attached to the boat the way it was as it'd catch too much wind and possible get ripped up, so I was forced to leave it there and ship without it. That's a solid thousand dollar loss had Kurt not stepped up and volunteered to drive 3 hours round trip just to delivery my dingy in his truck to me when I was unable to find any other way to get it home and I simply paid for his gas. This was above and beyond customer service and I'd highly recommend NW Yachtnet and especially Kurt to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat.
Next time I buy a boat, I'll be giving Kurt a call, you should too. He knows boats, but more importantly, he knows people. Give these guys a look, they're good people.
