I'm less than an hour away from Hawkstone so whoever wants info on this pile of steamy dog chit I would go see it and report back...
but in my experience if it looks like chit, smells like chit, better not eat it.. its likely chit!!!

I actually called the guy the first time he had the boat for sale on eBay. Something just seems off about the whole thing, all his answers to my questions were short and really didnt answer anything.. Sad because i love the orange and white combo. It could be a great boat for a great price, but the salesmenship may queer the deal..

"THE BOAT IS PRESENTLY IN ONTARIO CANADA FOR THE SUMMER, SHIPPING PICK UP WILL BE CHAMPLAIN NEW YORK.
PLEASE NO DREAMER, DON'T WASTE MY TIME, THANK YOU!!
It sounds like the seller is trying to make a fast buck and he doesnt really know what he is talking about. The ad does say it is in Canada but will be transported to the states for the final sale. Also how do the engine hours change from 100 to 50?????????????
I think the OP is in the right. It is sleaze ball sellers like this guy that put a bad taste in people's mouth.

Once again, no affiliation with the owner....but this deal is legit. I'm 45 mins away from him.
Like I said before, not everyone is a good salesmen or knowledgeable on boats. This guy picked the boat up less than a year ago and is trying to re-sell it. Something all of us do or try to if we can make money.
It seems like a nice a boat for the money. The previous owner re-did a lot of stuff on it.
I saw it advertised about 8k less than this when he bought...so who knows, he might be negotiable a bit. I dont think this boat is a lemon or a dud. Seller is not trying to scam anyone either!
