      <description><![CDATA[Notice to the announcers of this site:

There are active thieves operating on the Web these days. If you receive a strange offer to sale your boat without any inspection, it’s probably a scam. See below a recent email sent to you one of our announcer who responded and received a false check... 

The words may vary but the idea is always the same. You will be requested to either ship the goods or return the difference between the money sent and your wanted price.

Don’t get fool! Nobody buy a boat or anything without inspecting it before. NOBODY! Report here any case of scam. 

Thanks you,

Webmaster

      <description><![CDATA[I would like to suggest that you have a new section for sharing the use of boats. For example, I found a user willing to share cost for seasonal use on a half half basis. The boat remains mine,but he exchanges boat time with a cost sharing arrangement that is mutually agreed to.(for example dock fees, maintenance cost etc). This allows the owner to continue to utilize his boat while reducing his overall seasonal cost. This avoids putting the boat up for charter and keeps the insurance costs low.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Robert,

Are you certain that it is PayPal that is at fault here? Could it be the vendor who is sleeping tight????

As far as I'm concern, PayPal has always been very fast (within minutes). I have been using it for over 2 years without any problem what so ever.

      <description><![CDATA[Hello,

Following our users' suggestion in 2003, we brought several changes to our Boats for Sale section. We think these changes will make it much easier for everyone to find what they are looking for.

Fisrt, we modify the program so that each new ad is now on top of the list for the first 15 days. So it will be very easy for a user to find what is newly published.

CATEGORY CHANGES

A new category has been created. It's the &quot;Co-Owner Wanted&quot;. This will be usefull for those who wish to sale share only and not their whole boat.

A MOTOR SAILOR is a specific type of MONHAUL while a TRAWLER is a specific type of MOTOR BOAT. They were many listing in the MOTOR SAILOR category that should have been in the MONOHAUL. Because is was somewhat confusing to users, we merge the MOTOR SAILOR with the MONOHAUL and the TRAWLERS with the MOTOR BOAT.

CLEANUP

Last we clean up the Boat for Sale section. All ads that were forgoten by the owner have been removed. All counters have been updated.

We hope these changes are for the best. Please make you comments on our forum.

      <author>Yves Julien</author>
      <description><![CDATA[Dear user,

We have just programmed several useful features to improve our Ad software. Here is a description of them:

BOAT FOR SALE

The announcer may now chose between a simplified or detailed tech sheet to advertise is boat. This is good for those of you that have limited information to provide. A completely filled out simplified form is much better that an empty detailed one… To use this new option, simply log into you ad &quot;Modify option&quot; and select the proper option.

We also improved the look of the tech sheet by adding a pale background colour on each section as well as a navigation bar at the bottom. That navigation bar allows the user to quickly jump from one section to another.

We also incorporated new sort option into the listing that allowed user to sort out specific make or model. It accelerate their search…

All ads in the boat for sale section will be published in our paper magazine and will be distributed during the following exhibitions &quot;Montreal and Quebec city' boat Show and the Montreal Out door show.

BAREBOAT SECTION

Except for the simplified Vs detailed form (the bareboat tech sheet is already simplified) we did the same modification with sort function in the list, and the background colour + navigation bar in the section. The look as been improved.

GENERAL

Following user's request, we changed the mail server to make it faster. While keeping the SPAM GARD in place, it will now send mail directly to announcer. You will be able to reply directly to client.

More improvement are coming to make it the best and most affordable Ad service available.

NAUTICAL INTERNET SERVICE

We now have 5 Web Sites as part of our network. 4 of them are in Quebec the other is in Ontario. When you are publishing an ad on our network, it appears on all Web sites that are affiliated to the network in both French and English. The announcer is now getting 5 times more visibility than before and at the same cost… If you are a Webmaster, please join our network. It's free to join and you will get a commission on every ad placed trough your Web Site. It's a honest way to finance your development and it help the announcer too!

STATISTICS

Our stats indicate that during peak hours, at least 130 ads are view per hour for a average total of 1500 per day. Thanks to the affiliate members who has contributed to this increase in visibility.

WARNING ADS TO BE DELETED

By the end of the week, all ads that have not been renewed will be deleted. If your ad is about to expired or has expired, you may want to renew it now.

Good luck with your sales.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Following user commentaries, we modified our mailing service to make it more flexible.

Our server still protect against SPAM by encoding e-mail address into the database.

When responding to an Ad, user may now chose to reveal or not their email.

When responding to inquiry, announcer may also chose to reveal or not there e-mail address.

Thus we keep the advantageous of ANTI-SPAM and gave the choice tithe users to reveal or not there e-mail.

Please keep sending your comments here or directly to us.
