I see too many people abbreviating the year of their Whalers or motors, etc...

Please, when people search for certain year items, abbreviated years do not work well.
Our Search Engine requires a minimum of 3 characters to be able to search. Therefore, trying to do a search for a certain year does not work with just 2 characters. Use the full 4 digit year.

'86 is 3 key strokes... 1986 is four keystrokes....

There is no such thing as 86' year as that would be 86 feet.....

Thank you for your co-operation......

All years that are abbreviated will be changed which makes the admins work more than then should have to.
