FAFB will never call you and ask for your credit card details over the phone. If this happens, hang up!
This is how FAFB looked in 2001 you can view FAFB adverts as they were back then
the FAFB website was started in 1999 and by 2001 the waybackmachine web archive started taking a snap shot of how it looked
at this time the site was made using a platform called Frontpage And most adverts were entered manually
To try findafishingboat as it worked in 2001 Click here on the way back machine
It loads a little slower but you can try out the website as it was
By 2003 technology had moved on
FAFB was rebuilt on a platform called Dreamweaver and the look and functions were a bit more polished
When we used the ships wheel to navigate the boat categories we thought we were really cutting edge
Does anyone remember this feature ?
