FAQ
Who sells these boats?
DirectBoats.com. AI Boat Finder is an independent referral site. We don't sell boats or take payment; purchases, delivery and warranty are handled by DirectBoats.com.
How does the AI pick boats?
AI only turns your words into structured needs and rewrites the reasons in plain English. The ranking itself is a fixed set of rules applied to every boat in the catalog, so it works even when AI is off.
Are the tow check and cost to own exact?
No. Both are estimates based on typical boat, motor, trailer and gear weights and common yearly costs. Check your vehicle's owner's manual and get real quotes before you buy.
Are prices current?
Each card shows the DirectBoats.com sale price and MSRP with the date we last checked them. Always confirm the price on DirectBoats.com.
What else will I need?
At minimum, one Coast Guard approved life jacket per person, plus registration where your state requires it. If a boat needs a trailer that isn't included, we suggest one from the catalog.
