Niche

Used trawler, houseboat and marine diesel buying advice for retirees

Audience

Older and retiring buyers and owners of used trawlers, houseboats, pontoons and cruising boats who want to avoid money pits; the about text addresses people thinking about the boat they will retire on.

Format

A retired surveyor ranks or scores boats, engines or upgrades one by one (countdown or head-to-head), with model names, what to check before you sign and dated prices or repair costs, at about 20 minutes.

Why it works

• Narrow, high-value topics: 8 of the top 10 videos are about trawlers or named marine diesel engines
• Head-to-head brand comparisons: 4 of the top 10 titles pit named engines or trawler builders against each other, at 10.7k–40.7k views each
• A credentialed persona: the about text and 28 of 30 stored descriptions cite 35 years as a marine surveyor
• A money-protection angle: 10 of the 30 latest titles promise costs, savings, cheap boats or money pits, aimed at retirees
• Dense, specific episodes of about 20 minutes, with model names, part numbers and dated prices in the descriptions
