How it works
Four steps, one of which involves arguing about your friends' boats.
Enter your rig
A photo and the basics: year, make, model, length, boat type and engine. Sixty seconds, no account, no email required.
Get your Boat Score
0–100, instant, with a breakdown of every point and the reason for it. Arguing is encouraged.
Get seeded
Your rig lands in this week's double-elimination bracket beside seven other boats — or on the bubble if the eight seats are taken.
Battle Sunday
The marina votes the matchups until the Sunday cutoff. Lose twice and you're out. Win, and it's your name on the dock.
The Boat Score is 100 points. Here's where they go.
No black box. Same five factors for a $40k skiff and a $400k sportfisher, and you can see every point and argue with every one.
Every score is deterministic — same boat, same number, every time — and every point comes with a reason you can disagree with. That argument is the product.
Age / classic appeal
22 ptsClassics get credit, not a penalty. An '87 Whaler outscores a tired 2016 bowrider.
Builder reputation
18 ptsBoston Whaler is worth points. So is honest, widely-owned glass.
Model reputation
12 ptsIconic families score highest. A mystery number gets six and a shrug.
Power vs. length & type
24 ptsHorsepower against what that type and length of boat actually runs — never raw horsepower.
Condition
24 ptsOwner-reported, treated as a claim: condition, engine hours, and whether the story holds together.
Entry completeness
0 ptsFilling the form in more completely is not a boat-quality trait, so it scores nothing. We show it as Entry Complete ✓ or a percentage — next to the score, never inside it.
Owner-reported condition and engine hours are treated as claims: a 5/5 showroom rating with 1,500 hours behind it doesn't score as new, and every explanation that leans on your own report says so.
Think the rubric is wrong? Enter your rig and beat a boat that out-scored yours in the bracket — a matchup win is the only argument this site keeps score of.
