For customers buying new
When the trade-in offer is low, some customers would rather donate the old boat and take the deduction. You can point them to us, and we handle pickup from their home or your lot.
For dealer-owned inventory
If your business owns an aged unit, a donation is possible. The tax treatment for business inventory differs from personal property, so talk with your accountant first.
How pickup works
We pick up from the dealership or the customer's location. Pickup is free, and timing depends on transporter availability.
Trade-ins you would rather not take
Some trade-ins cost more to recondition than they bring at wholesale. Pointing the customer to donation keeps the sale moving without an unwanted unit on your lot.
Aged inventory
Units that have sat for several seasons tie up floor space and financing. Talk with your accountant about how donating business inventory affects your books.
Pickup from the dealership
We can pick up from your lot during business hours. Tell us the service entrance and who will release the boat.
Questions
Can we refer customers without paperwork of our own?
Yes. The customer works with us directly.
Do you accept boats that need significant repairs?
Sometimes, if they still have resale value. We review each one.
Do you offer referral fees?
No.
Can the customer donate the boat before taking delivery of a new one?
Yes, as long as the customer still owns and can sign for the old boat.
Do you take nonrunning trade-ins?
Often, if they still have resale value.
