In this episode of Floatplan, we look at the forces reshaping PNW boating, from changing demographics and how people spend their time on the water to the shifting market for older and newer boats. We dig into what boats are actually selling for, what today’s buyers are looking for, and what sellers need to understand about pricing and choosing the right broker.

Amy Thornton of BananaBelt Boats joins the conversation to share her perspective from the brokerage side, leading to a deeper discussion about what makes a good boat broker—from market knowledge and negotiation skills to communication, relationships, and the willingness to work cooperatively with other brokers. Amy brings her trademark irreverent, no-filter perspective to the conversation, making for a lively and candid discussion.
