Boatsales 12+

90 % of my enquirers have had no responses and the next day I receive a message telling me interest is increasing so be quick to purchase, obviously from my own interest.
And you can’t write a review because all the nicknames are taken?

The “Boatsales” application “does what it says on the label”, but it could definitely do with some work.

For a start, why do I keep seeing the “reCAPTCHA” security challenges? I mean, I get that it’s because I’m connected online via my VPN - but whilst a website might need “reCAPTCHA” security challenges, a locally-installed application should not (which is why I don’t see this in other applications I have installed)!

Then there’s all the “Get price” stuff... Why on Earth can we not apply a filter to hide all of these entries? Honestly, I don’t want to scroll though a million “Get price” entries, just to see the vessels with an actual price listed!

Lastly, why does it have to be so hard to find houseboats? The “Boatsales” website has a link to immediately browse all of the houseboats currently for sale, but thus far, I have been unable to find a similar option in the “Boatsales” application... I should be able to open “Boatsales”, click “Houseboats” and see a complete list of all the houseboats currently for sale.

At the time of writing, “Boatsales” is - as best I can tell - the definitive application for selling and purchasing marine vessels in Australia, and for that reason alone, it is recommended... But don’t be fooled - this application is “nothing to write home about” and needs a LOT of work before anyone can call it something special.

I am currently looking for a boat over 30 foot. There is a lot of rubbish in the system where people will put a 17 foot boat as 17 metres, so it shows their boat as being longer than a Sydney ferry and then you see a photo of a trailer boat. it is not checked (no qc) before the ad is uploaded. Also this boat share stuff should be in its own category. You want pay a premium to use a boat for an 1/8 of a year when the weather is wet and windy like the butchers cat do it somewhere else.
