SHEET 01 — MARKETPLACE SURVEY / REV A
Find your next boat.Know exactly what it's worth.
A pre-owned boat marketplace where every listing carries a fair-value assessment — so you can see whether the price is a deal or a rip-off before you ever contact the seller.
SEARCH INDEX IN PREPARATION — VALUATION ENGINE REV A ONLINE
Every hull drawn to spec
Search results present the boat the way a surveyor sees it: measured, projected and annotated. Fair value is computed from surveyed comparables, not from the seller's optimism.
Callout A — What every listing shows
Each pre-owned boat listing is annotated like a survey sheet: the asking price measured against what the boat is actually worth, with the evidence drawn out in the open.
- A1
Fair-value assessment
Every listing carries a computed fair value so you can read the gap between ask and worth at a glance.
- A2
Comparable sales
See similar boats recently on the market, side by side, with the dimensions that matter — length, year, engine hours, condition.
- A3
Deal / rip-off flag
A simple verdict on every price: under, at, or over market — before you commit a single hour to the seller.
- A4
Spec sheet discipline
Structured listing data instead of classifieds clutter. No vague 'great condition' copy standing in for the facts.
Callout B — The survey flow
From search to confident offer, the process runs like a hull survey: measure, compare, then commit.
Search the market
Filter pre-owned boats by type, length, year and budget across private sellers and dealers.
Read the valuation
Open any listing and its fair-value annotation is already drawn on the hull — ask price versus worth, with the comps behind it.
Contact with confidence
Negotiate from evidence, not guesswork, knowing exactly where the asking price sits against the market.
Confident offer
Commit with the survey already done — no second-guessing at the dock.
Callout C — Who we serve
One marketplace, three audiences, one shared standard: prices you can verify before you commit.
Boat shoppers
Assess whether a boat is fairly priced before you commit hours, surveys or sea trials to it.
Private sellers
Price against real market comparables so your listing stands up to a buyer who has done the homework.
Dealers
List inventory with transparent valuations that build trust instead of triggering suspicion.
Callout D — Built for confidence, not guesswork
The marketplace is being engineered so the data does the arguing. Rigour over hype, in every part of the product.
- D1
Evidence over adjectives
Valuations are drawn from structured boat data and comparable listings — never from seller enthusiasm.
- D2
The numbers stay visible
When a fair value is shown, the reasoning behind it is shown too. No black-box verdicts.
- D3
Same standard for everyone
Private sellers, dealers and shoppers are all measured against the same market evidence.

Parts list — Questions, answered
The details, specified.
- 01
When does Boat Marketplace launch?
We are building now and have not set a launch date yet. Joining the waitlist gets you notified first and gives you early access when the marketplace opens.
- 02
How is the fair value on a listing calculated?
Fair values are computed from structured listing data — make, model, year, length, engine hours, condition — measured against comparable pre-owned boats on the market. We show the comparables behind each assessment rather than a black-box number.
- 03
Can private sellers list, or is it dealers only?
Both. The marketplace is designed for private sellers, dealers, and boat shoppers alike, with the same valuation standard applied to every listing.
- 04
Does the valuation replace a marine survey?
No. A fair-value assessment tells you whether the price is reasonable; a physical survey tells you whether the boat is sound. Use ours to decide which boats deserve a survey.
- 05
Will searching really be free?
Yes. Search and fair-value assessments are planned to be free for boat shoppers at launch. Seller and dealer pricing will be announced before launch.
