Virtual inspections for marine, RV, and powersports

Verified condition and hull, VIN, or engine number capture

Boats, RVs, and powersports units are stored in marinas, storage lots, and driveways that are inconvenient to visit and easy to misrepresent. Guided remote capture verifies the hull ID or VIN, engine hours, and true condition without scheduling an inspector.

Boats, RVs, and powersports units are seasonal, scattered, and often stored hours from the nearest qualified inspector. Verified virtual inspection lets a marina hand, storage facility, owner, or selling dealer complete a guided walk-through while your surveyor, lender, or insurer directs the session live. Hull numbers, VINs, and engine hours are captured with OCR, and the record is dated and geo-locked so a survey, loan file, or claim rests on evidence rather than trust.

The problems we solve

Units are stored far from anyone who can inspect them

Marinas and storage lots add travel time to every condition check.

Hull ID and VIN verification is skipped

Which is exactly how the wrong unit ends up on the wrong loan or policy.

Seasonal damage disputes

Storage and winterization damage claims need a verified baseline from the season before.

The workflow

  1. Step 1

    Send

Real-world use cases

A lender funds a used boat purchase without a travel day

The buyer is four hours from the marina. The dealer walks the vessel on a live session while the lender's analyst directs shots of the hull identification number, engine hours, transom, and interior. The verified capture supports the collateral file, and the deal funds two days earlier than a scheduled survey would have allowed.

A storage facility documents a hail event across 80 units

After a spring storm, staff run the same guided template on every stored coach and boat. Each capture is geo-locked to the lot and time-stamped within 48 hours of the event, giving owners and carriers a consistent, verifiable damage set instead of a scramble of individual phone photos weeks later.

Marine, RV and powersports FAQs

Can dealers run these on their own inventory?

Yes. Dealers use the same guided templates to produce verified condition files for listings and floorplan lenders.

Do you support units stored in areas with poor signal?

Yes. Photos and notes queue offline and upload when the device reconnects.

Can this replace a marine survey?

No. A full survey involves haul-out and hands-on testing. Virtual inspection handles condition documentation, pre-purchase screening, lender collateral verification, and claim evidence — and often determines whether a full survey is worth commissioning.

Do you capture HINs, VINs, and engine hours?

Yes, with OCR reading the values from captured frames so identifiers are transcribed accurately into the record.

Does it work in a boatyard with weak signal?

Yes. Self-guided capture buffers locally with capture-time GPS and timestamps preserved, uploading when the device regains signal.

Can seasonal storage check-ins be automated?

Facilities commonly send a capture link at check-in and check-out, which creates the dated before-and-after record that ends most storage damage disputes.

How are reports shared with owners and insurers?

As branded PDFs or expiring web links, so a specific report reaches a specific party without media floating around by email.
