Ebay item 260146765280
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...146765280&rd=1

I posted a "ask seller a question with:
"hey, i know that boat, heres links to pic's of the boat when new"
and he never let it show up. Maybee thats because it shows it before that horrible paint job was puked onto it?? Anyone know wtf happened?

GRIN was salvaged, stay away

Nice find Rob. First time I surf OSO in years and I stumble on your post. GRIN was a Hurricane Wilma casualty in 2005. She was submerged for 2 weeks with multiple fiberglass fractures and was basically F'ed up.

I hope nobody gets suckered by this scam. Since it was a total loss by the insurance company, there should be a salvage title. Any surveyor should be able to sniff this out... HOPEFULLY --- John

Wow, sorry to hear about that, it's painfull to look at, but thanks for filling us in the other side of the story. Hurricanes can really mess your boat up i see!! So John, do you like the new paint Job? Lol!

Chineese parade!! Lol

I was wondering what happened to that thing, i guess that explains it! I sent a message to that guy thru ebay... Now i see why he didnt respond!

I dont think anyone would buy that now with that paint job. I mean, if it had a regular paint job of any stripe pattern, it would probably look good enough to sell, but an a$$ ugly dragon? WTF!!

If anyone ever see's that boat, be sure to walk up and slap the guy! Doesnt matter if its the guy trying to sell it, or the person that bought it! Slap em a good one!
