The model is the record. The listing is one layer.
YotSignal starts with the model record first: builder identity, model family, specifications, source references, documents, media posture, historical context, and comparable market observations. Listings can then be created from a stronger starting point instead of a blank form. The 112' Westport is used here because it is one of the best-documented production motor yachts in its class.
Builder, model family, and specifications are organized into one source-backed record before any listing exists.
A dealer or broker starts from known model context, not a blank form, then confirms the actual unit details.
Reviewed data is kept separate from candidate evidence, and every field keeps its source attached.
The dossier, not a blank form.
Representative, source-backed figures for the class, organized the way a model record should read. Values marked varies change by hull, model year, and refit.
All figures are representative for the class and summarized in our own words from public builder and industry sources. Fields marked varies change by hull, model year, and refit; confirm per hull at the source. Nothing here is fabricated, and any field without a reviewed source would be shown as needs review rather than filled in.
Westport and the 112 class.
Westport builds in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, with roots in hardy commercial Pacific Northwest boatbuilding later applied to luxury yacht production. The W112 first launched in 1994 and is the longest-running model in the Westport line.
Industry sources describe the 112 as one of the most successful production motor yacht series over 100 feet, with roughly 50 hulls delivered and about three built per year. Westport uses a production-oriented method that delivers largely custom interiors on a fixed, repeatable platform, which supports consistent quality and cost control at 34m scale.
For a buyer, a large and well-documented production run is the point. It means strong comparables, known systems, established refit paths, and a deep resale and charter track record. Understanding the model family first is what makes any single listing easier to read.
Comparable market observations.
A small, curated set of public observations for the class, each linked to its source. Buyers can read one hull against many rather than relying on a single data point.
These are curated market observations, not a browseable marketplace and not a completeness claim. Publicly observed asking figures for pre-owned 112' Westports have ranged roughly from the mid-4 to the 9 million USD band depending on year, condition, and refit. Prices and status change; confirm at the linked source. Nothing here is a YotSignal offer or valuation.
What serious buyers actually evaluate.
Serious buyers need more than photos and a short description. They need model context, specifications, documents, comparable observations, and confidence that the information has a source behind it.
What is the vessel?
Which generation and model year, whether the master is below decks or topside, the engine and systems fit, and the documentation behind it. The model record answers this before a single photo is opened.
How does it compare?
A long production run means buyers can read one hull against many. Comparable observations across model years and refits give a realistic sense of where a given vessel sits, rather than a single data point.
What supports the claim?
Every specification, document, and media reference keeps its source attached. Reviewed data is separated from candidate evidence, so a buyer can tell confirmed information from something still in review.
From model record to presentation-ready listing.
A reviewed model record is the starting point. From there a dealer or broker builds a listing draft, a client presentation, or a public page, each carrying the same source-backed context.
- Model recordBuilder, model, specifications, documents, and media references, with the source kept on each.
- Reviewed specs, documents, media postureChecked against the source, with rights and review status tracked before use.
- YAM workspaceWhere a dealer or broker turns model intelligence into real work.
- Listing draft, client presentation, public pageOne reviewed record, many outputs. Public only after review and authorization.
Built toward the deal, not just the view.
A listing should help move a serious buyer toward understanding, inquiry, and decision. YotSignal organizes the information behind the listing so brokers and dealers can present the vessel with better context.
Start from known model context instead of a blank form, so preparation is faster and more consistent.
Specifications, documents, and comparable context arrive organized, so a buyer understands more before inquiring.
Buyer interest routes broker-direct with the record attached, so the conversation starts with shared context.
Every field keeps its source, so both broker and buyer can tell reviewed data from candidate evidence.
Source-tracked. Reviewed before public use.
Every record keeps its source attached. Reviewed data is separated from candidate evidence. Dealer-submitted listing details remain the responsibility of the submitting dealer or broker.
