Boat shopping with copious filters

[LoudMusic]

I think people are going to tell me "that's what boat brokers are for!", but any time I talk to sales people about anything, I give them my criteria and then they start putting stuff in front of me that doesn't meet my criteria.

It would be pretty great to have a website with as many boat designs as possible with filtering options. It could include not just their vital details, such as what YachtWorld uses, but the more intricate stuff as well. Like which way the nav station faces, where the helm is, 12/24/48v DC system, pedestal or not master bunk, forward/aft master cabin, and stuff you see on house searches like number of cabins and heads.

"How much is it?", "How far away is it?" just don't seem like great ways to shop for a boat - I want to use more detailed criteria

That's a pretty big ask, who is going to do it and how do they get paid for their time?

How many makes and models of yachts alone, have been made over the last 50 years.

Anyway here is a start:
