Anyone in sales will do a "quick qualify" at the outset. It is likely issues of hesitation in acceptance you experienced on TF are mirrored with brokers. You are a very atypical first boat buyer. Buyers may be categorized in the qualification process. You likely do the same with potential buyers and sellers in real estate.
Art has given you good advice which should help. Sooner or later you and a broker should establish rapport.
In my experience, brokers (in Australia) vary greatly. Some are well established, genuinely motivated to help, decent reliable people you`d welcome as a friend. Some others were just not good at used car sales.
