Project buyers shop by completion percent, hull material, and known issues
Project boat buyers run a deeply specific decision tree. Hull material (wood versus fiberglass versus aluminum versus steel), completion percentage (full restoration needed versus 80 percent done with last 20 percent of work remaining), known issues, surveyed status, transport logistics, and asking price relative to estimated finish cost all factor heavily. A 1962 Chris-Craft Constellation 35 in restored condition with a verified survey reads very differently than a 1985 Hatteras 53 sitting on the hard with a soft transom and an unknown engine room status, even though both might be called project boats.
SleekRank reads the project boat broker feed, an estate-sale CSV, or a marina-cleanout Google Sheet and produces one page per restoration candidate at /project-boat-listings/{slug}/. The base WordPress page holds the inquiry form, towing logistics info, and survey arrangement guidance. Mappings push hull material, completion percent, known issues, recent survey status, asking price, and transport cost estimate into placeholders. The known-issues column renders as a structured list under a Disclosure heading.

Comparison
Craigslist ad list vs SleekRank for project boats
Craigslist ad listings
- Craigslist ads come down after 45 days, breaking inbound links and lost projects vanish
- Hull material and completion percent are scattered through ad copy, not structured fields
- Known issues are sometimes disclosed, sometimes hidden, and never consistently formatted
- Estate sale rosters live in PDFs that no search engine indexes
- Project buyers searching for specific builders cannot filter Craigslist by year
- Towing and transport logistics rarely appear until after a serious phone call
SleekRank
-
Each project boat row equals one
/project-boat-listings/{slug}/page - Hull material, completion percent, known issues mapped from columns
- Known-issues column renders as structured disclosure list
- Builder, era, and completion collection pages share one source
- Sold or scrapped hulls drop on next cache pass automatically
- Pair with SleekPixel for per-hull cards including condition photos
Features
What SleekRank gives you for Project boat listings
Completion percent visibility
A completion_pct column drives a visible label on every page and a collection filter. Buyers looking for nearly-finished projects (70 to 90 percent) shop a different list than full-restoration buyers (under 30 percent). The data lives in.
Known issues as structured list
Soft transom, blown engine, missing electronics, deck delamination, blistered hull each render as a separate bullet in the Disclosure section. Project buyers expect transparent disclosure.
Estate, broker, and marina feeds
Project boat sources are diverse: estate sale rosters, broker books, marina cleanouts, club deaccessions. SleekRank consumes any of these via CSV, JSON, or Google Sheet so the inventory site can blend multiple sources cleanly.
Use cases
Project boat brokers and restoration networks using SleekRank
Project boat specialists
Brokers specializing in classic Chris-Craft, Trumpy, Hatteras, Grand Banks, and Bertram restoration candidates carry rotating books of 30 to 100 hulls. Per-hull pages with structured disclosure draw serious restorers.
Marina cleanout sales
Marinas selling off abandoned and lien-foreclosed boats run periodic auctions and direct sales of 10 to 50 hulls at a time. SleekRank handles a one-off seasonal roster cleanly without standing up a custom inventory tool.
Owners club deaccession programs
Classic boat owners clubs run member-only project rosters for older hulls needing rescue. SleekRank handles the small but engaged audience with per-hull pages indexed for the niche search demand from.
The bigger picture
Why project boats deserve real URLs instead of Craigslist ads
Project boat buyers run very specific searches. A serious restorer types "1962 Chris-Craft Constellation 35 for sale" or "Grand Banks 42 project boat" with a builder and an era already in mind. Craigslist ads come down after 45 days, breaking every inbound link and dropping the listing out of search visibility.
Forum posts get buried. Estate-sale PDFs do not index at all. One URL per hull on a stable domain is the only way project listings survive long enough to find a buyer who is looking specifically for what is on offer.
Beyond search durability, per-hull pages let brokers practice transparent disclosure cleanly. Known issues render as a structured list. Completion percent shows in a band.
Survey status, transport logistics, and parts availability all surface in dedicated sections. Project buyers value disclosure more than glossy marketing, and structured fields force honest representation in a way free-form ad copy never does. The result is a more credible inventory site that draws serious restorers rather than tire-kickers.
Questions
Common questions about SleekRank for Project boat listings
The completion_pct field carries the broker's estimate of how much work is done relative to a full restoration. Display ranges include 0-25 (full project), 26-50, 51-75, and 76-100 (mostly done). The page renders the percent plus a band label so buyers can scan rosters quickly.
Add a survey_status column (recent, dated, none, available-for-fee). The page renders a small Survey block stating whether a recent survey exists and whether the broker can arrange one. Buyers expect this clarity, especially on hulls priced above $25,000.
Tag with a category of scrap or for-parts. The collection page at /project-boat-listings/for-parts/ shows these separately from genuine restoration candidates. Some buyers want stripped Chris-Craft hardware or older Bertram fixtures and the parts-hull category serves them cleanly.
Yes, but with caveats. An estimated_restoration_cost column gives buyers a starting figure; the page should also include a disclaimer that estimates depend heavily on the buyer's labor approach (DIY versus professional yard) and material sourcing. The number is a starting point, not a quote.
Add a transport_notes column for hauler accessibility, road clearance, crane requirements, and any seasonal road restrictions. For boats sitting on the hard at remote locations, this is meaningful spec; the page surfaces it directly rather than burying it in a phone call.
Map a damage_photos_url column to a list mapping; the page renders a Condition Documentation gallery separate from the main hero gallery. Project buyers want to see the worst, not the best, and the separated gallery keeps disclosure honest.
Add a status column with values like free-to-good-home, below-transport, regular-listing. The page renders the appropriate badge and the collection page can filter on the unusual statuses. Free hulls draw a different buyer profile than priced restoration candidates.
Yes, especially for classics. A parts_availability field can carry values like good-aftermarket, builder-still-supports, parts-difficult, no-parts-available. For Chris-Craft buyers this is the deciding factor on whether a hull is restoreable at all.
