I got a kick out of that listing and his others too. Asking 10k for something but can’t dust the facking thing off huh? I look at it this way, if you’re that lazy that you can’t represent something decently you ain’t getting my money.

I gave him sh*t for one of his listings a while back and he fired back at me cause I was the tool bag for calling him out... right

But you’re forgetting about the drying time! And I doubt he’s got running water at his “shop”

Stainless Marine ones are?

right. To me 2 sets of gen iii 5” stainless marine will probably run me close to $4,000 for good ones that is

There is a set I seen a month ago. 5" for $1,600.00. looked new. I will look about for you.

Found them. Message him to see if still has for sale. Tails also 5" Bravo

Found in 5 minutes. You hunt, you find.

I don't know the seller at all but will say if you are interested in these, make sure you get very detailed pictures of al the water ports and fittings. You can see the salt on that one picture. A lot of junk comes out of Florida. Buyer beware. You don't need to be taken again. Just my 02

$18,000 IS a lot of money and I'm sorry you got screwed like that. I would personally never buy something that expensive sight unseen. Time for a road trip. I hope you can salvage the engines.

Only thing worse than a thief is a scammer that hits for big money. A guy I work with is into antique tractors and even with extreme due diligence, he's been 'taken' a couple of times in the past, so now whenever he's contemplating a buy, he travels to the seller. And has seen several totally misrepresented tractors, and the crazy thing is the sellers often aren't even remotely ashamed or contrite, etc...more like, a <shrugs> "well, you going to buy or not?"

First of all I hate it that you got screwed, but the first red flag should have been a pair of iron headed 572's with an 8-71 blower that appears to be under driven by about 25% isn't going to make anywhere near 1000hp. Hopefully you have enough good parts there to make something out of them.
