Q: How do I determine the type of boat for listing purposes?
A: This should be pretty straight forward, but if you’re unsure how to classify your boat type, search through the listings on boatsforboaters.com to compare your boat to others. That should provide a quick answer to your question. If you’re still unsure, and if, for example, your boat is a downeast cruiser but looks like a trawler, pick one (downeast cruiser) and then use the description portion of the listing form to add clarification. If you aren’t getting any contacts, change the classification (trawler) using your Edit Listing function and see if that helps. You can also contact a dealer or broker to help you pick the right type. Remember that buyers will search through listings by critieria such as length and price so it is highly probable that your boat listing will be seen regardless of your getting the type exactly right. And remember, a picture is worth 1000 words!
