Powerboat listings is a good source of research for different boats and engines, lots of photos to help with info on layouts and colors. Their listing are terribly out of date.

I just clicked on Fountain (only because that's what I own) and sorted by 'boat added'. It gave me a whopping 439 listings on 15 pages. Only 75 listings (3 pages) are less than 6 months old! Any listing more than 6 months old really is out of date. 364 out of 439 listings are out of date.

I'm sure the ratios are similar for other boats but if they removed all the old listings, there wouldn't be a lot left and some categories would disappear altogether.

Just my observations, I don't want to look like I'm bashing the site because I quite like to browse regularly even though I'm not a buyer at the moment. It's well laid out and very user friendly.

That's how I read them, after a couple I check the dates to make sure they are current

What sucks is if you forget your password (like me) no one wants to reset or write you back from the site....so the ads sit. I would love to take mine down and set numerous emails to them so I can log on and delete it but nothing from them

I have used www.yachtworld.com in the past.

But has to be listed by a broker, no private adds
