Default What's the scam with boatsdepot.org

Does anyone know what the deal is with boatsdepot.org? A lot of nice boats priced way too cheap.

Click on the contact email deal and it redirects you, SCAM deal, I will buy all the 2003 38 ft Fountains for 7300$ with fresh hp 500's that they got but I wouldn't hold my breathe that they are actually available, Smitty

I'll take a couple @ those prices.

Did you guys notice that the parent company (?) is in Spain?

I'd be careful how much info you gave then just asking for info.

I read Derebery in that description do I smell a Cardshark? or does that Fountain have tainted foam in it from our good friend Phillip Warnock.

To say the least, "Interesting".

I found five of the boats listed by doing searches. The Triton for $2900 is $27+k at the dealer. The Yacht 310 Express times 7 at the dealer. I did not find the 2003 Fountain on their site, but found others and they are times 20.

I suppose the question comes with; 1) is the site the issue 2) are the listers the issue 3) or some sort of technical problem?

I am not real comfortable with giving the site my information for them to forward to the listing person... or anyone else they feel like!

Not sure what this means, but some of the less expensive boats I looked up were close to what normal asking price might be, but I wasn't able to locate them.

I know that boatsdepot is one of the websites contracted out by boatsandrvsellers.com I get an email from boatandrvsellers weekly, not sure if they are legit just yet. You pay $150 and they list your boat with just about every boating classified site on the net. No commission, just the $150 until sold. Sounds a little too good to be true.

I can confirm that boatandrvsellers.com is legit. A friend of mine referred them to me years ago and they have sold 2 boats for me personally. I know I paid $249 for the first boat I listed with them and $149 for the next one. They told me if I refer anyone of my friends they can use JAY149 (if it still works) as the promotional code and the rate will be $149. Feel free to use it.

Hope that helps.

At their prices I might buy 5 or 6 of them. Let me know when yours arrive.
