yes sir that's the boat ....I placed my bid on it however I had the marina take a look at the drives today ..much to my surprise it had std bravos on it and the input shafts are about 10'' to short to reach the couplers ... I had the valve covers pulled and to the mechanics surprise the engines have no valves in them at all ..clearly this boat was stripped of any good parts before insurance took it .. needless to say I didn't pay for anything and they are going after the person ...

Scams are everywhere. The craigslist ones where buyer calls and says they want what ever it is your selling. It's when they mention their movers is when you gotta watch out. They use PayPal invoices/payments that look near perfect. I realize this isn't the place for it but more people see this the better. I have no place for scammers...
