There's a '00 42' Tiger with 900's and 6's on a Myco for $99K in the Cig section. Same George Sleckser guy.

I got an email from OSO saying that they were making some changes.....that could be the problem

I don't dig having to wade thru pages of dealer ads copied right out of the brochure in the Formula's for sale to see individual boats for sale.

It must keep others than just me from even bothering to look.

I think that's not in keeping with the original theme of the classifieds being for boatowners/members.

I apologize OSO if this seems harsh but I think it's a real issue.

The Tiger is a confirmed SCAM! I helped sell that boat 2 months ago to the happy new owner in OK. The scammer is using the prior owners pics too and is the same guy "selling" the Donzi.

I don't understand these scams. Are there really people out there stupid enough to fall for them?

Someone needs to email this guy and set up a sea trial

Same thing happened to me last year. I placed an ad on eBay and days after my listing ended, I found copies of my pictures and description listed on two websites for half the price. My boat is USCG documented and the FBI and Homeland Security stepped in and got the guy that perpetrated the fraud.

Its time for a IP address check and put George out of business

The entire classified section now has new format. It changed in the last couple of hours. Looks like the prices on all the boats got deleted in the transition.

I just wish they would put in some search filters such as length and price (and "inquire" is not a price). It's too time consuming to check without them.

seems the sellers info is gone as well, no phone numbers or prices listed at all...
