Stevan, I'm not sure you need a customs broker. I've brought my last 2 boats back from the US without a broker and it's not a difficult process. (I also have brought a couple of cars back from the US, too)
One was on her own bottom and one on a trailer. Clearing by water is a piece of cake. Just phone in as normal and tell them you're at the dock. They'll take a credit card over the phone for your HST. Then you report to customs office the next day and fill in the paperwork. On a trailer, it's also straightforward - As long as there's a VIN on the trailer. If there's no VIN on the trailer, they might not let you bring it into the country - which would suck. (and which almost happened to me with my J/24) I haven't used a third party trucker to bring a boat in, but I suspect that's not such a big deal either. Anyway, it's not a big deal. Happy shopping!
