Cheap Sunseeker anyone?

Regardless of your financial analysis, the much simpler approach would be to go for the boat that actually physically exists ie not the one that you originally linked to.

It’s back on eBay and seller has said defo in Florida. I kinda think it’s genuine. eBay is not the place though. Just sell it locally surely!

Despite originally linking to ad, I wonder how much of a bargain the boat really was. If the price was £35k then by the time you've added shipping at £15k and VAT @ 20%, the boat will owe you £60k (I think you pay VAT on the shipping costs). That's not so cheap after you've added in faffing about, time and especially considering the thing hasn't moved for year.

Compare that to this minter @ £72 (asking)....

I know which I'd go for!

I forgot the cost of converting it from 110v to 240v.

Of course, if you're going to keep it in the US it's a different proposition.

But it’s ended. Was put on 24th. Wasn’t removed this time as it normally says that

Thanks. So, I sent a message to the seller in the original listing, and got a complicated reply asking me to make contact outside ebay, which I did. I then got a lengthy and rambling phone call from the seller with a convoluted backstory. Said he had fresh photos that he would send me as soon as we had finished the call. Shortly afterwards I got an email from ebay saying that the sellers account had been compromised, and the listing was pulled. Suffice to say, no photos arrived. I also told the seller that I'd go and look at it in Florida, and guess what, he wasn't keen on that at all.
 
Bit bored Jimmy ?

Well you had it spot on...if it looks too good to be true....it usually is eh!

It was a scam I enquired about the boat & was conversing with the seller when I got a message from ebay stating the account had been hacked & to not continue with negotiations
 

At least I could drive on one engine.....the bow thruster noise from Marina Queen drones on worse than Bruce’s superchargers ???

Wow.
A Camargue in what look like decent conditions at practically no cost is indeed intriguing.
In a sense, even more so with no engines.
Dump the 8V92 leftover, fit a couple of cursor 9, and I bet she would fly. (y)

Absolutely! If it was in the UK.....I’d be sorely tempted. It’s closer to Vas though. He’s the man for the job ?
