    Nice layout and the colors are good for yachting and ater.
    But i feel the text by the images needs more formatting. to stand out.. bold the categories and have space between them and the text..

    such as:

    Class: Sail
    Category: Sloop
    Year: 1992
    Make: CATALINA

    Nice looking theme. When i click on the image , it take to another url , instead i suggest you can use pretty photo a wordpress plugin that can open the image in the same window.

    Some suggestions. Note that I'm looking at your website from a usability and SEO standpoint, not from a programming one. I haven't reviewed your code for best practice implementations.

    1. Strongly suggest you place your summary description on the top of the page. This will help both your visitors and search engines understand the purpose of your website. I would also suggest a dedicated page about the history, goals, and what makes your site different then the rest. This article may help http://blog.9thsphere.com/blog/web-copy

    2. Suggest you layout the summaries of your boats. There is a lot of real-estate you can save and reduce the amount of scrolling if this was better utilized.

    3. I'm assuming you want to sell these boats, right? I don't see any directions or a call to action if someone wanted to purchase one. I clicked on the read more and didn't see a contact seller or I want to buy buttons or instructions.

    4. May want to distinguish the section titles from the rest of the content like you have done for the "seller description". Maybe bold the "Location", "Fuel type", "Price" etc. titles.

    5. Add keywords into your page titles. For instance, if people purchase the boats based on location, add the location to the title.

    Hope this helps.

    Overall I thought it looked good but when I clicked pictures there was text that stayed on top. I'm using FF.
