Good afternoon All
I have sort of been in the market for a boat now for years now (fanciful) and frequently check out sites such as Boatsonline, I used love the website, easy search etc.
Now it looks as though 80% of the asking price is not displayed, it is POA (Price On Asking).
What's the point of that?
I won't bother with that, can anyone recommend a better website, in Perth?
Cheers

New boats
They generally do that for new boats, pretty common on most websites. Used boat prices are displayed.

usually new boats.
there is a button you can select to exclude POA adds in the search selection area

Boatsonline New search
Okay Gents
I excluded the POA (good tip)
I was only searching for used boats, my search parameters reduced it to 1 boat available, currently under offer.
My original statement seems valid
Cheers

Could be your search parameters
Unless it is a very rare boat you are looking for I’d guess that your search parameters are too restrictive.
Try using only 3-4 or parameters and narrow down from there.
A quick search for WA boats, no other criteria, shows about 3000 boats for sale.

Criteria
Yes, you may be right
But regardless, there was a very high percentage of POA which is a PITA
Not sure if rare
But criteria was less than 30k, no older than 2006, ali hull and 5.5 to 7m

Optimistic
Looks like you’re after a unicorn. I used your same parameters except no price range. 52 boats came up, only six were less than $30k.

Mate I doubt you will find
Mate I doubt you will find much (anything) under $30k, and nothing will be plate..Thats too cheap for what you are asking for..
Lift your price to $40k to get in the zone, $50k for good search results and something plate w/4stroke.
