Methodology
Five evidence layers, normalised globally. Missing model data counts as zero, never estimated. Owner reviews remain zero without a permitted source. YouTube is coming later and never affects these rankings. Rankings are relative within each segment, not a worldwide completeness claim. AI visibility measures actual provider mentions, not boat quality.
- Marine press
- AI visibility
- Awards
- Owner reviews
- BOP market data
No paid placement. Partners, advertisers, dealers and members never influence the result.
