Put another way, as a seller without a broker I might feel like I have 10% more room to negotiate. Just sayin'.

Do you have experience doing this??? If you can pull it off, go for it. There are highly sought after boats that you might be able to get away doing this. That Willard 40 in the classifieds section is am excellent example. He shouldn't have any problem FSBOing that boat as long as he can get enough exposure.
To answer your somewhat rhetorical question, the market will pay for that 10%!!
