How it works

Three steps between you and a confident decision.

  1. 01

    Paste the listing

    Drop in the URL or copy the seller's description, year, make, model, hours and asking price.

  2. 02

    We analyze the photos

    Our model inspects every photo for gelcoat cracks, blistering, corrosion, stringer issues, and tell-tale neglect.

  3. 03

    Get your report

    A mechanic-grade write-up with a fair market range, red flags, negotiation points, and a clear verdict.

Sample report

Negotiate with confidence — not a hunch.

Every report grades the hull, engine, electrical, rigging and trailer, then hands you the exact numbers and lines to use with the seller — so you don't pay $5,000 over comps or miss a cracked stringer in the walkthrough.

  • Fair market range from comparable sold listings.
  • Photo-by-photo red flags with mechanic context.
  • A copy-ready negotiation script to use with the seller.
