Id say its a scam. Remember the boat was sold to someone on LI then the drives were stolen. Then it went back to FL and CMS had it listed for sale with no drives for like 130k or something. The ad from CMS is still either on here or boattrader. So id say its a scam.

The free shipping line almost always means scam. That way, they get you to pay for it before you ever see it.
Also, the phone number is a fax line for a business. That way, you have to email them. Scammers would much rather work by email than phone.

I'm pretty sure that boat is in CMS warehouse in Ft. Lauderdale.
Ad says Burbank.

I guess my point was kind've lost here.....It was that the economy sucks! And it's a sad state of affairs when it's hard to tell something's a scam or not. Scams used to pop right out. Now it's questionable with out some inside knowledge.
