Email To Listed Party
I have tried four times with two different accounts to contact seller [email protected] and it will not let me connect. Also there is no phone number to contact the seller and I would like to schedule a time to view boat?

In an effort to curb abuse of its email servers and limit the amount of spam inflicted upon its users, Craigslist does not accept email from computers with dynamically assigned IP addresses, or hosts that have generic DNS setup.
The easiest solution may be to use the mail server of your ISP to relay your email. If you're not sure how to set up your mail client to do this, you may need to phone your ISP.
If you have a static IP address and want to be able to send email through your own mail server, you will need to ask your ISP to set up non-generic DNS for your IP address.
If these suggestions don't work, some people find it easiest to use one of the many free web based email systems.
