Hi all,
I don't know whose boat this is, the owner may not even know about the ad. I tried to make an offer for this boat, the alleged seller wanted me to wire $7700 cash via western union to an address in Las Vegas. He said it was to an agent of escrow.com. Escrow.com does NOT accept western union as a form of payment. Also, I was e-mailed payment instructions from what was disguised as escrow.com, escrow.com does NOT e-mail payment instructions. Nice looking ride though. Anyone ever heard of an 18 classic named "Double Agent"?

P.S. Of course, for that price, I should have known it was a scam.:bonk:

Obviously a scam. Probably heisted photos of a legit boat.

Doubt it will go very fast with 76,100 liters of fuel. Must be a drug runner. :cool!: :cool!:

This boat is sitting at Lightning Bay Donzi dealership in St. Pete, Florida, as we speak, unless it's already been sold. I looked at the boat a couple of weeks ago for a guy in Boston, who found me on this board. The price wasn't $6,000, it was considerably higher.

Funny thing is, I called three agencies to report it to, they all asked me how much money I lost in the scam. I told them I didn't lose anything, and they told me to ignore the ad. I was told that there are so many scams like this online that unless someone loses money, it's not looked into. Sad. Oh well, caveat emptor I guess.

......and an eleven foot draft. Of course, I could be wrong since the boat weighs one pound.
