Thanks very much Chuck. I'm glad you found the process of posting to be easy.
I've been working on our search engine optimization and we're climbing up in search results. I'm also still streamlining the posting process on the back end, so please allow a few hours for things to go live on the site. You're 100% right that the thing we need the most at the moment is postings. So, if anyone has boat stuff or even boats they'd like to post, please submit through the boatlist.org site.
