Unfortunately, it's the times we live in. People try to get away with just about anything now. Our nation lacks a conscience for the most part. Yes, there are some ppl that just don't know about boats and never should have had one in the first place, and then there are those that are just trying to make a quick buck. We, as prospective buyers, need to be ever vigilant because the world is full of scammers now. One of our members just got taken with an outdrive that was held together basically with JB Weld and paint. Makes you wonder what the world is coming to...

That's all true guys.


Just had another tell me " you're the first person to notice the discrepancy".......that being the ad said 225hp, but the engine cover is a 250hp.

Told me - no need to check the compression, it was good 2 years ago.
Yeh, ok.......next.

So much crap out there.

Buy the Whaler I have for sale. It is ummm, perfect, no flaws, like showroom new, immaculate, never seen the sun, never been in the water, only run on hose in the driveway, 400 engine hours. My neighbors are most interested in the sale. I have no idea why?

Friend text me - hey there's a V20 for sale says excellent condition nearby !!!

I look and text back - yeh, I looked at that boat - the transom's getting ready to fall off !!!
Crap boat.

Only slightly exaggerating. Transom buckling, swollen with water, and cracked.

You make a good point, I listed my motor as flawless and that does seem a bit much. I usually say "proper running order" but I'm just proud of the way it has run since I got it at 50 hr. As for the boat, if anyone can find a soft spot I'll buy you a case of your favorite beer.......and help you drink it.
