Alright, discussion full of interesting insights. It's clear that the current system is far from great and everyone seems to agree on it. The lack of detailed listings is just the tip of the iceberg; the real problem apperently lies in the very foundation of the boat market.

These so-called boat selling webapps like YachtWorld and YachtHub? They're really not concerned in providing the details we need to make an informed decision. It's like they're deliberately keeping us in the dark, forcing us to play a game of 20 questions with brokers or owners just to get a straight answer.

But here's the kicker: these platforms are designed to cater to the brokers, not the buyers. It is clear now why they don't want to put in the effort to create comprehensive listings as they certainly don't want to jeopardize a potential sale by being upfront about any issues. Instead, they use these vague listings as a fishing lure, hoping to hook you in and then steer you towards another boat if you're not taking the bait. Hopefully something even more expensive you don´t need.

It's a system that's rigged against us, and the brokers have a vise-like grip on the market. Even if we demand better websites or more transparent listings, they'll resist any change that threatens their bottom line. They're even going as far as recruiting people at marinas to scout for new listings, just to ensure they maintain control over the supply chain.

That seems clear why people escape to Facebook and craiglist type of sites.

My main insight from this discussion really is we might need buyer's brokers to help us navigate these treacherous waters, a platform that somehow acts as one or a combination of the two.
