Idea for the For Sale Forum

[muddywater]

Hey Trayder, if you are listening, here is an idea. I realize that this would be a bit of work, but if you were looking for ideas...

How about a standard form for people to fill out who are selling their boats. You can link it to paypal or whatever so they can simultaneously pay the posting fee. It could even include a control to attach a picture. It could generate a page that includes all the info and some interpolated from the data (like determining whether it is a Mosely, Potter, CSY, etc from the year). Alot of it could be drop down list controls. It could include:

Hull length (18, 19, 20, 21,23, 27) (if you only include the classics)
Hull ID
Hull Year
Have clear title for hull (yes, no, my state does not require titles)
Transom height(20", 25", 30", Full with bracket, other)
Transom condition (good, fair, poor, unknown)
Has bottom paint (yes, no)
