Facebook Marketplace · private sellers · your radius
Good boats sell in hours. You hear about them in minutes.
DockSnipe watches Marketplace in whatever radius you set and pings @DockSnipeBot when a boat worth chasing lands, with the engine, trailer and title already read out of the seller's own words.

Why Marketplace
Cheap boats do not live on Boat Trader.
Boat Trader charges sellers to post. The guy who needs his pontoon gone before the next storage bill lists it on Facebook for free, at 6am, and it is pending by lunch.
How it works
Three pings and it runs itself.
Set the hunt
Segment, length, budget, how far you will drive.
The engine sweeps
Every 3 minutes on Pro, in your browser, on your own Facebook login.
Telegram buzzes
Facts and flags in the message, so you know before you drive.
The alert
We show the bad news too.
Red flags appear on every boat, including the ones we scored well. A tool that only tells you good news is a tool you stop trusting in week two.
2016 Sea Hunt 211 Ultra
Yamaha F150 four-stroke, about 480 hours
Trailer included, both titles in hand
2004 Bayliner 195
MerCruiser 4.3L, hours unstated
No trailer, boat title only
Engine first
Two listings, same price. One is a boat.
Modern four-stroke, hours stated
Holds value and starts on the button. A repower newer than the hull is worth more than the year in the title suggests, so we read the two separately.
"Ran when parked", "needs carb work"
From there we price the hull, not the ad. Putting an engine back on it runs $15,000 to $30,000, which is usually more than the boat.
No trailer, no drive home
Worth $1,500 to $5,000 by itself, and without one you are borrowing a truck and a friend.
The trailer is titled separately
"bill of sale only"In most states the boat and the trailer carry their own titles, so you should know which one is missing before you drive out.
Sellers who need out
"storage fees are killing me"Moves a boat up your list, and it gets loudest at the end of the season when the storage bills land.
Where it lands
Boats get their own chat.
Cars stay in @CarSnipeBot. Boats land in @DockSnipeBot, so one feed never buries the other. Pair once with a deep link and the extension handles the rest.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do I hand over my Facebook password?
No. It runs as a browser extension on the session you are already logged into, and reads only what is public on the listing.
Do you tell me what a boat is worth?
No, and be suspicious of anything that claims to. You get a soft read plus every fact and flag we pulled.
Where does it work?
Anywhere Facebook Marketplace runs. You set the metro and the radius, and you can save separate hunts for different areas.
Will boat alerts bury my car alerts?
No. @DockSnipeBot is its own chat with its own mute and quiet hours. @CarSnipeBot stays exactly as it is.
