I sold my 30 foot cruiser over a month ago, I had paid for a Boat Trader ad and it sold in 4 days. Day 5 I deleted the ad. For the next 2 weeks I received more inquiries, which I guess I understand....

Now, it's over a month later, and I am still getting 1-2 emails per week from someone interested in my boat. I wish I had 2 or 3 of my boat, I could sell it a few more times! I've verified my boat ad is deleted, and I can't find my boat in any search.

On the other side of this, now I'm searching for a boat. I'm finding the same thing across all services, mainly YW and BT. These listings are old, most boats are sold, and it seems these services just hold on to these "ghost" ads.

Does anyone have a preferred site where things aren't so stale?

I'm starting to develop a list of sites I hit, mainly brokers that keep things more updated, but it's not exactly efficient to visit these sites.

Thanks for any suggestions you may have!
