Hey lars call me with a price on delivery.

I have followed this thread since the beginning. What you said above have been my thoughts all along. A LOT of boat for cheap money with some racing heritage to boot. If I lived on the left coast I would be very happy to put her in my yard for that amount of money.

2. Never sell a boat to Steve. He does not have any realistic expectations of what 6k will buy. If you're gonna bid on a boat on ebay and agree to something that is not listed, then use the ebay email system. Exactly why did you come to OSO to post just this????????

I think they are both about half nuts and the real truth is...........who knows.

I agree and take it one step further. Don't bid/buy any boat on ebay. Chances are the seller is some dweeb (like experienced here). Real sellers have them on respectable classifed sites or better-----Shogren Marine.

The only thing this thread has done is to entertain, amuse, frustrate, piss off-------Ok all listed-------OSO members.

RO i list my boat on ebay, and in no way would I screw someone or not divulge something. No reason to hide anything from anyway. I know of pleanty OSO'ers who use EBAY. there is nothing wrong with it great exsposire to those who dont know of this great forum or others and looking to get into this sport, so by default ebay is the place to look. So but not listing there your loosing out on a great market. ANd why should all have to list with a broker/dealer like shogren why give them any money for something that hopefully the owner knows better then anyone.
Griff 100% agree

Boy that was really a fukked up comment regarding selling on ebay. I have sold a 23 Pachanga and have listed my Velocity on ebay several times. Every time the Velocity has been listed it has had OVER 700 views for a $2.75 entry fee. You ought to research the topic before talking out of your a$$.

Oh, and Shogren's respectable? For alot of people yes, but me? They can kiss my big white a$$. I got blown off by the finance guy and by Scott himself on two seperate occasions. If that's respectable then I want nothing from performance dealers.

Speaking of scammers. They didn't even make a 23 Pachanga.
