Monte Fino 75 Motor Yacht on ebay

[allanc]

Hello,
is anyone else curious about this vessel.? At £300,000 it's quite a low price. it's been on eBay for a couple of months with lots of 'watchers' and no bids.
Is there a story to be told? I have no connection at all.

Hmmm. The seller's other items for sale are a couple of bits of crappy domestic furniture - so hardly a major yacht brokerage.

Go on, make a cheeky offer, you know you want to.

The price seems to have gone up to GBP 350,000 - Allan, they probably saw your post above, and took note?

You might get a better response if you post this on the Mobo forum, rather than on Scuttlebutt?

Does seem like a lot of boat for the money. That said - seems to be lacking a helipad, I’m out.

I don't know what the scam is, but I smell one.

Collection only, from...Honiton? Isn't that eight miles from the sea, without any form of watercourse between them?

Why? For that sort of boat, the asking price is nothing to write home about, and I'd be very surprised if she would sell.
For anyone interested in a cheap (to buy, not to maintain!) boat of that size, there are much better alternatives.
And if you really don't mind taiwanese stuff, you can find something even cheaper.
Like this one, just as the first example that a quick search came up with.

Purely a matter of taste, but I like the first one better. Of course, I might change my mind PDQ when I can see the condition from close up.

Why a scam? Mostly because of the selling history, plus that kind of boat for a private sale. Of course I don't know if it is but, were I genuinely interested, I'd be doing a LOT of checks that I wouldn't need to do if it were a UK broker handling the sale.

The river otter is nearby, you could get down to Budleigh Salterton, that well known Superyacht haven ?

The river otter is nearby...

Hmm, that passage, I wanna see. ?

 

[Chae_73]

tbf, the advert does say where the yacht is currently located (not Honiton) and that delivery can be arranged to an agreed location...

But the River Otter idea has a lot of potential interest

 

[Greenheart]

I admit, I allowed myself to be fooled by the unexpanded wording...

Is it perhaps a 1/20th scale model that can float beside the kayaks?

Fair enough, but 'fiuaskme, on boats like those, I'd do a LOT of tests regardless of who is selling them.

Oh, Yes, as that damned dog says. Survey and sea test in challenging conditions need to happen anyway. I know just about enough to know I don't what the questions are on a boat like that, not that I'm ever likely to buy something similar. My wants are a lot more modest, even with the money to run that on.

The extra checks would be things like, Is it his to sell? Is there a debt attached to it? Stuff I'd expect a broker to check normally. I rather think I'd get some sort of marine legal eagle to sort that stuff out.
