That's for making me aware of this scam....it has only happened 3 times with this boat already? You would think with all this free advertising I get someone would actually buy it.

What's up, Mike. Hope all is well, aside from the scam ads.....

Drop a line and let me know what runs you'll be at. I'm going to LOTO then Cumberland and for sure Key West.

Greg

Sorry for the hi-jack.

I know the moment I seen the first yellow one up for-sale I drove to Beaverton and gave it a once over. I called and left her a message to give her an offer (Yes I was going to over-pay because I love that yellow boat) but before she called me back someone dropped a Scarab in my lap with an offer I could not pass up

That Baja has to be $135k ??

If the $35k price is real, then that is a heck of a deal...hell the motors those stock 496's are worth that.

Some prices are out of whack due to the seller not putting enough down. I can't get over what some of these people expect to get for a used boat. I know a guy at my marina who has had his boat for sale 2 years now. still asking too much go figure. Oh he put the minimum down

The Baja is a scam also. Emailed him and here is his reply. Hope nobody falls for this crap. Anyone really have an 02 29 Outlaw for 35K let me know.

Hello there and thank you for your interest,

The 2002 BAJA 29 OUTLAW SST is like new, with no scratches, no marks, no hidden defects.
There are only 66 hours on the boat and each engine. It looks great.It is in excellent condition, I have only used it for a few times and only in fresh water.

Unfortunately, I must sell it right away. This is a one owner boat and it has a clear United States title.
If you are interested in buying it the price is USD $35,000.00.
The boat will be shipped from Poland (EUROPE) and I will handle all shipping arrangements and costs.
It will take no more than 12-14 days for the shipping company to deliver the boat to you.
The transaction will go through Secure Trader for our own protection.
They will hold and insure your money until receipt of the boat in good conditon.
You will have 15 days from the time you receive the boat to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
If you wish to purchase it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal.
After that Secure Trader will contact you with further information and instructions.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm Regards
Daniel Leaf
