Somebody buy this and let me know if its a scam

Looks too good to be true, but thats what I was told when I bought my boat for the price I did. Someone buy it and tell us if you got scammed or not. 2007 with 34 hrs for that price???????

We've seen some awesome deals go down in TX as of late. Another PN member just scored a killer deal on a 196 down there, which I thought was a scam, so you never know!

I was told the 08 I just got was a scam. I got it and was told by the local Nautique dealer I could turn it for 15k next spring on his lot.

Let me know if you find a killer deal on a 200 down there

I turn boats as a half azz hobby so if I do i'll let u know. Austin is where you find some killer deals on direct drives.

I just emailed the seller asking some pretty good questions, if its a scam, they'll run from my questions for sure - -that does look like a too good to be true deal -- Id think that boat was closer to $55-60K with those hours ??

Let me know, see if I cant talk the wife into 6 boats in the driveway. For that price it should profit a good 20k QUICK.

(*&$(*&_#@! !!!

I was just down the road from there week before last....and I had 35 big ones in the glove box.

That pic looks familiar but I could be mistaken. I might be thinking of someone who just added their new baby to the site.

Scam. Same boat was in Minnesota earlier this summer. Seller said he got it as a wedding gift, after some emails the typical "send money to an internet account and Ill ship the boat to you" statement was made. Sorry.

My rule of thumb if they list it in a city over 200 miles away they don't want u to ask to come by and look at it. I've bought a few boats off craigslist and that a pretty good sign. It's not listed on any Kansas cities.

Gotta be a scam. 2005-06 San210's go for that price....

I got a reply. U be the judge. I'm going to ask for the reg #'s to run a background.

"The boat is in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I have more pics here: http://s1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa460/mycc220/. They were taken in Aug and the boat hasn`t been used since. First owner, 72h, no mechanical issues, never used in salt, clear title, stored indoors, maintenance receipts.

I`m out of state with some business: I own a diner near Seattle, just bought another and the renovation keeps me busy. To sell the boat, I`ll need to fly home, so please let me know if you are seriously interested"

Tx and others - -

I got the exact same reply on email that Tx got word for word.... I however, live 3 hours from the boat. I am near Pittsburgh, PA...and he's up near Scranton, PA.

Anyone think its worth me going to try and see it ???? I mean it looks nice in those pics and all and if he wants to unload for $28K or so ??? Could it be stolen or what ?

[ccs]

just did a little research -- if the guy is looking at NADA for boats - low retail is around $39K - - so if he is trying to unload it fast, end of season and all - -his $31K price might not be as low as we had all initially thought ???

Now that I look at it, maybe it is for real. I don't think that's a team edition - so it would have lower value... Per the book.
