In old news, sometime in the past couple of years, Yachtworld US took away the Advanced Search option. This was an excellent way to look up boats, with many easy parameters you could repeat (or adjust). Totally functional.
Once that was gone, it was a frustrating exercise in using filters that didn't work all that well, and didn't even have options for many of the useful parameters. Awful!
But thankfully, there was still yachtworld.co.uk. Day saved! I have used that every day, always hoping it would not be dumbed down as our US one was.
This morning it happened (at least on my computer). Went to run my advanced search (my usual parameters, plus the one of "last 1 day" so I don't have to look at the same million boats I've already ruled out over and over again). I was taken to a generic "Boats for sale" page. Augh!!!!
I had heard that the Australia site was also still usable. Went there. Same generic page and no advanced search.
Guess I'll have to find a boat on Craigslist, geez!
(Not only is it a bummer for me, but the old way actually introduced me to some boats I would not have otherwise considered. I'd do my basic parameters, plus "past 1 day" and see some boats I might click on that I would not have found if I were only searching by brand.)
I have about 1% hope it's some glitch on my end....
