Survey findings, risk register, negotiation, financing, and closing in one thread.

A quick walk through the screens you will live in — or skip the mockups and tour a fully-loaded sample boat yourself.
Tour the live demo boatIt knows what oil your generator takes, when the thruster was last serviced, and what the survey flagged, because it read your documents. Ask in plain language and get answers from your own boat's records.
Email a survey, an invoice, or a manual to your boat's private address. It reads the whole thing and files the parts, expenses, maintenance, vendors, and reservations where they belong, then replies to tell you what it captured.

While you are still shopping, score a candidate against live market comps for that model, run a risk register off the survey, and track the negotiation. When you buy, all of it becomes the start of your ownership record.

Four-model weather comparison, a go or no-go call sized to your boat, tides, and a fishing calendar. No account needed.
Built by a boat owner
Frank, founder of Informed Boating
I bought a boat and inherited a mess: a survey PDF, a folder of manuals, a parts list on a napkin, and a maintenance history that lived in the previous owner’s head. Within a month I had a dozen browser tabs and three spreadsheets, and I still could not answer simple questions about my own boat.
So I built the tool I wanted. Forward a document and it files itself. Ask a question and get an answer from your boat’s own records. Keep the survey, the maintenance, the parts, the expenses, and the cruising in one place that follows the boat instead of starting over at every phase.
If you have ever lost an afternoon to figuring out what you already owned, this is for you.
