There's something funny going on with this one. Last November I became aware of an old woody that has been in a mate of mine's family for years, and the boat is starting to deteriorate, but is still being used. It is located in country Victoria. I obtained a photo of the boat back when it was in pretty good nic, which I forwarded on to a few club members. The photo I sent is the one pictured below:
If you click on the link for the boat advertisement at the start of this thread....well waddya know!!!!!
I have spoken to my mate who owns the boat and it is still sitting in his back yard!!! Funnily enough I can't get an answer when I try and ring the seller who has placed the add.
Buggered if I know what's going on

It looks like to me that it's one of those internet scams.
So warn all that you know that may be interested to not buy the boat as it may be that the pwrson advertising the boat has just hijacked the photos , posted them on the Boat sales website and is waiting for the money to roll in an never deliver the boat!!!! Pricks
Take Care and maybe report it to the Boats on line managment that it is a suspect case of a fraudulant posting
cheers

Dave Dave Dave ..... I think it's your turn to buy another boat but probably not this one.
I am sure this boat was advertised some time ago , again in WA.
I recently purchased a boat sight unseen out of WA but did a lot of cross checks re it's authenticity.....( although I still Havnt seen it but Rayaz tells me it's real and at his place)
Buyer beware !!

Unfortunately, you have to be real careful these days when buying over the 'net. I bought a Corvette on Ebay a few years ago. About a week after I bought it, and it was sitting in my garage, the exact same car and ad came back up on Ebay with a different seller. Someone had found a way to copy the ad, including the pics, and relist the item. I contacted the original seller, who then contacted Ebay and had the ad shut down.
