Ikan, feel free to correct me, but it seems that this was true for you because you intended to scrap everything except the hull itself so none of the extra stuff mattered to you just so long as it was cheap and the hull was sound.

I drove 1,200 miles to buy my first SeaCraft, sight-unseen based on two paragraphs in boattrader listing what it had and what it didn't. I used it, as is, for six years. Let's not base my entire boating life on one redone boat. I've driven roundtrip from Oakland, CA, to NC for other boats so I think my driving-for-boats resume can hold it's own.
My point was that there are a lot of people posting boats on here that have 2 posts to their name total. If you make the posting template so detailed as to scare off some people, you will limit the amount of boats that get posted which hurts the membership more than a post with less details than some would want. We have email and telephones which can illuminate many extra details if the original post is interesting.
If Trayder wants to add these features, I'm sure it will go forward which will be very nice for the potential buyers. However, no amount of detail in a post will make up for a 20 minute phone call with the seller. We've become a highly automated society but some things still require a bit of human interaction
