Frequently Asked Questions

How does the logon process work?

If you want to be notified of new postings or listings that match certain criteria, you will need to log on to the system. If you have never logged on before, please click the Log In tab at the top and then click the “Register Here!” button. You will be asked for your name and e-mail address, and you'll need to choose a username and password. Be sure to make a note of your username and password, because you will need to know them if you ever want to modify your Wish List options. Once you've provided the information, click “Submit.”. If you have successfully registered, you will see an acknowledgement page. If not, you should see a page explaining why your registration wasn't successful. If you registered successfully, you will be automatically logged on.

Why didn't my search turn up any hits?

Your search criteria may have been too specific. Go back to the search form and leave more of the search fields blank, or click “New Search” and do a general search. For the broadest possible search, simply click “Browse” on the home page.

How do I navigate the search results page?

Search results are displayed in table format, with one line for every ad that matches your criteria. The left column displays the ID number for each hit, and the other columns display other important information about each boat. You can quickly re-sort your results in different ways by clicking on the column headers at the top of the table. (For example, to sort by the length of the boat, simply click on the “Length” header; all of your search criteria will be maintained.)

How do I contact someone who has posted a classified ad?

The seller's contact information will be listed at the bottom of the ad. You can also e-mail the seller directly from the ad.

Does the Boat Rover copy listings from other sites and put them in the Usedboats.com database?

The Boat Rover does not and cannot copy listings or photographs from other Web sites and put them in the Usedboats.com database. Any listing found through the Boat Rover is simply indexed and the user is provided a link directly into the Web site that contains the ad.

When I click on a link that takes me to a new Web site, can I look around the new site?

Absolutely. Usedboats.com does not in any way limit the user's ability to navigate other Web sites.
