The boat looks nice. Can't say I have ever heard someone say "My favorite broker" before.......
I bought both of my boats through him and he's helped a few friends sell their boats. Pretty sure I mentioned this in the other thread, but this guy is as honest as they come and has by far the best reputation in the MD/DC/VA area. He inspects every single boat inside and out before agreeing to sell it and he rejects as many, if not more, boats than he accepts. He does the acceptance sea trial out of my marina and the guys on the docks have told me about the number of boats he takes vs. the number he turns down. My marina manager, an old hardcore boater (think Quint from Jaws) has the utmost respect for Jonathan and his integrity when it comes to selling boats...and if you know Rick, that says a lot.
Quick example of why I like Jonathan from my personal experience....
We bought our first boat (’98 Chaparral Signature 240) from him a few years ago after asking around town and being told nothing but great things about the guy. We had the hull survey and sea trial done on a Friday afternoon with plans to close that day assuming all went well. Process ended around 5:00 pm and the only thing discovered was that the battery charger wasn't working. We were going to hold off on closing until the following week to see if the owner would accept throwing a fix into the deal. Then I mentioned something along the lines of it was too bad because my kids were really looking forward to going out on the boat that weekend. So what did Jonathan do? Did he say "Yeah, too bad. Well, closing time on a Friday so I'll call you next week"....nope, he spent the next two hours troubleshooting the battery charger and was able to trace the problem and fix it that day. We closed on the boat around 8:00 that night. That’s customer service.
