Loans and liens
Still owe money on your boat? That's common.
RT 113 can work with the lender to coordinate payoff and lien documentation as part of the transaction. You do not need to pay the loan off first, and you do not need to chase the bank — if the boat is worth more than you owe, the difference comes to you, and if it's worth less we tell you exactly where things stand before anything is agreed.
Questions owners ask
The straight answers
Do I need to know whether I want to sell, trade, or broker before submitting?
No. The form has an option for exactly that — "I'm not sure yet." Tell us about the boat and we will explain which paths make sense for your situation. There is no obligation either way.
Will RT 113 give me an instant online value?
No, on purpose. Two boats with the same year, make and model can have very different market positions — engine hours, service history, electronics, options, condition, trailer, location and current buyer demand all matter. Every submission is reviewed by our team, not automatically priced by a website.
What information do you need to review my boat?
Year, make, model and length are the essentials. Engine details, hours, condition, where the boat is kept and whether a trailer is included all sharpen the review. Photos help but are never required.
Do I need photos to submit?
No. Photos help us understand your boat before we contact you, but you can always continue without them.
Can I sell or trade a boat that still has a loan?
Yes — that is common. RT 113 can work with the lender to coordinate payoff and lien documentation as part of the transaction. A loan does not prevent you from selling or trading your boat.
How does brokerage work?
We market and sell the boat on your behalf for a commission. We photograph it, list it, handle the enquiries, coordinate showings and sea trials, support the negotiation, and handle the documentation through closing. It typically brings the highest number of the three paths, and takes longer, because we are waiting for the right retail buyer.
Where does RT 113 market brokerage boats?
On our own website, through the Boats Group network — the same syndication that powers Boat Trader and YachtWorld listings — on our Instagram, Facebook and YouTube channels, to our customer email database, and to the walk-in and phone traffic of a working dealership.
How long does it take to hear back?
Your submission goes straight to our Sales Director for a personal review. We contact you as soon as the review is done — if you are in a hurry, call (302) 436-1737 and ask for Joe.
Does my boat have to be located near the dealership?
Most of the boats we buy, trade and broker are on Delmarva — Delaware, Maryland and coastal Virginia, from Lewes and Rehoboth down through Fenwick Island, Ocean City and Ocean Pines. Tell us where the boat is and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
What types of boats does RT 113 consider?
We buy, trade and broker most makes, not just the brands we sell new. Center consoles, dual consoles, bay boats and cruisers are our bread and butter — tell us what you have.
Your boat goes to Joe, not a queue
Every submission is reviewed personally by our Sales Director. Two minutes of your time, and the next conversation is with a person who has actually looked at your boat.
Or call (302) 436-1737 and just describe the boat — that works too.
