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.

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.
