Bill,
From my own experience I can tell you that most of the yacht brokers
seem to be more than willing to show you any boats. My guess is
they get a lot of "tire kickers". One broker that I've gone back to
has a policy of opening all of their boats on Sundays so that people
can just climb aboard and get exposed to lots of boats. Perhaps
someone in your area has similar open house days?
