Is this for real or about right for this boat

I was checking out boatsonline and saw this come up as just been listed.  If this price is correct, it seems very cheap.

What do you reckon?

I'd go with scam. Considering the rego number is a QLD number. Pick is not Burns Beach and no contact other than email.

Tony im that sure i'd almost put money on it.. If you can zoom in on the photo of the rear and read the trailer plate. You can than do a search on line now to see if its in current rego.

 

Also the email is a different name. The end of the description is another name and the add name is a third name again. Also if it was cheap why would they need to deliver? I'm smelling fish....

Burns Beach

Tue, 2011-10-25 12:53

Yea and Burns Beach is an established residential area, by looking at the photos it looks to be a bit of a rural block

Scam

Tue, 2011-10-25 13:08

I bet you just pay for delivery and deposit via a Pay Pal account and the rest once you have received the boat then never see the boat or hear from them again! If it is to good to be true then it is!

i rang up 4 times and no one answered

Maybe its been stolen and they want to flog it asap?

I think the seller is in Burns Beach but the boat is up north somewhere?

If its for real you could sell it the next day for 30k

Still check it out coz theres nothing to lose.

If your looking for something similar.... same price at martin box, seems like a steal at first glance.

You got one here!!!!

Tue, 2011-10-25 16:06

Got 85% of everything I worked for, then 10 yrs off child support at maxed out rate, then adult maintenance to put my kids through UNI (which I would have done anyway, but no she had to get the lawyers involved) whilst she married a lawyer, didnt work a pennie and his income was not assesible. Now I feel homo, because I was scre*%d up the a%$e.

At a guestimate cost me about $400 bigones. No wonder it took me sometime to get a boat back after I sold the 23 Coastrunner we built ourselves.

Hell I could have 20 of those boats now!!!

Nope, they can definitely take more! Someone I know's evil ex leech got over 60%, the house, the kid, child support, the car, etc. All while he supported her through studies.

I'm glad theres still nice women out there, but the fact there are vindictive bitches who will absolutely screw over someone they were suppose to love sends chills down my spine.
