Boat Trader's US marketplace connects buyers with private sellers, dealers, brokers and manufacturers. It does not own, broker or directly sell listed boats. Suggested practice: name the actual seller and transaction route; a marketplace contact should not be counted as Boat Trader completing a boat sale.

Boat Trader's US browsing filters include type, make, model, price, location, year, length, engine, fuel and condition. Suggested practice: qualify those requirements against the seller's actual boat before arranging a conversation; filtered discovery does not confirm that a particular boat is still available.

Boat Trader's US private-seller page describes its Price Checker as an estimate from similar listings, adjusted for location and engine hours. Suggested practice: distinguish a listing-based price estimate from an agreed seller price or completed transaction; the tool does not establish realized sale value.

Boat Trader's US private-seller page charges a flat listing fee while describing browsing, searching and seller contact as free. Suggested practice: separate seller listing cost from sale commission and buyer access; zero commission does not mean that publishing a seller's listing has no charge.
