Boats for sale website has disappeared.
      #1115133 - 25/07/2006 18:34

What's happened to boats-for-sale.com? Every time I enter it, I get boatshop24.

I've found out. They have been merged and the choice seems more limited than the two separately.

yup not happy about this merger, when one now links from our web (Atlas not Sun Coast) site to our boat details on their site , our pages are bombarded with boatshop24 and other links, damn cheek.

and the user interface is rubbish compared to the old one... still not worked out how to view boat details (without entering my details, which I won't do for casual browsing).... and I do this stuff for a living.....

Need to allow pop ups.... and the manufacturers selction is a drop down which doesn't include some manufacturers, for example you can't search for all Southerly boats... so hope you don't want to sell one there soon!

Bored?.... why not read my blog .... its the developing story of the trials and tribulations of boat ownership!

on mine you just press "skip" to miss out entering your details, then view away. However the detals used to be just there on one page easy to print, now you have to use a bloomin scrool bar which makes it impossible to print off if the spec is long.
grrrrrrr

I noticed it yesterday. Thought I'd gone mad and couldn't remember the right address.

Same here!

I thought I had the wrong address and so did a search .... kept getting directed to that boat24 thing.

Shame as it was a really good site.

Opportunity for someone else to create something eh?!
