Beware Velocity Listing on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...item3f1a40b3ce
Seller lists this boat as "Brand New" condition and it is NOT even close. My buddy wanted to buy this boat and we traveled 13 hours from NE Ohio to Kansas City with a cashier's check only to find the boat completely faded like it sat in the sun since '05 when it was new. The interior is filthy with black mold and mildew and rips in the seats. Trailer fender is smashed and tires dry rotted. Cover is bleached almost white from the sun. The prop is also listed incorrectly, it is not a labbed prop. The boat is worth maybe half of what they are asking and they tried to keep my buddy's $500 deposit. This boat was probably great when new, but the exterior and interior are shot from being in the weather. My buddy called on this boat numerous times before going to look at this boat and they assured him the boat looked great and was in "brand new" condition. All the pictures they sent him had to have been not current or recent. Buyer Beware!
