He is a real POS!! He has stuff on craigslist all the time and it is all just trying to rip someone off! He is selling a "2013 525 EFI" for $3500. But it is not fuel injected, it is not blue, it has junk exhaust on it......the guy needs to stop!
Someday karma has to catch up with him!
Buyers beware!!! He got a few of us! There is a reason he is banned from being able to sell anything here!!

He sold me a "turn key everything works" boat that turned out to have a blown head gasket (he said let it warm up and it will seal), corroded drives that he put body filler on and painted to hide, leaking corroded transom assemblies, water leaking in behind k planes, exhaust that leaked and was corroded so bad he had to double up the header gaskets to try and seal to the block, BAD TRANSOM, a trailer that fell apart and I had to get a mobile welder to fix just to get it some place to get the boat off it, not to mention the title for the trailer turned out not to be the right one, didn't even have the motor mounts bolted in the boat.....should I keep going?
In return he received a 1988 formula 272 that had a rough interior and had a bad spot on one flywheel he said (I thought it was the starter) but the hull was clean, everything actually did work, the boat ran well at 66 mph, on a very very nice I beam trailer that was about 2 years old (I did have to get the previous owner to meet him for the trailer title). He got a 1979 wellcraft fishing boat that ran on a trailer, and $7000.
I gave him everything I had in the world plus money on a credit card but I ripped him off.
I never got nasty with him either. Just asked him to tell me the truth that he knew what he was doing when he stuck it up my A$$! But he seems to live in a fantasy world where he believes that his shady dealings are OK.
All I can say again is BUYER BEWARE!!!!!

Yeah, I ripped him off. Good one! That's why I spent 2 years trying to get the boat together I got from him and still had to part it out for no money and give the hull away.

I was in a transaction with him and suddenly my inbox was full. The brothahood here saved me with all I needed to NOT get screwed by this douche.
Thanks again, oso.
