I love that trailer sorry but I just had to point that out.
I would contact the seller and ask for more photos and if you can come out and see it or take a test drive. If he says no then I doubt he is for real or at all inclined to sell.

If you get any more pictures please let me know that is a gorgeous boat!

Actually looks liek it could be legit to me. At least it isnt for $5,000 like I have seen on there before. Like ^^ said, contact the seller abotu a test drive/visual inspection. That will tell you real quick if its legit or not.

Wow nice looking boat. If it is legit, someone is prob gonna get a SMOKIN deal!

That being said, I don't know too many people who are NEW to Ebay (little 0 transactions next to seller name) that would start out with such a Big Ticket item. Use caution for sure.

remember this is just the auctions current bid.. by no means what the boat is selling for.. I could see how far it is away from me and possibly take a look at it if your serious or end up getting it on ebay.

I agree. Plus, only 55 hours on a 2005? Could be a great deal, but be careful!

Only a fool would send money after an auction win on an item such as this!

Place the money into escrow and it can only be released to seller after buyer receives and approves that the item is as described
If the seller is not willing to agree to those terms - don't pay

Ok, anyone on here local to the boat?. Maybe they could check it out.

I'm the high bidder - I figure it is worth at least $20k

Just a quick question why is this boat on an Australian built trailer???

[Kenv]

Clemsondave,

There are alot of reasons why the boat could only have 55 hours. I have an 05 with under 55 hours. I have ALOT of friends with boats, several in my family on our dock at any given time, so we don't always use mine. Plus a new baby thrown into the mix and wa-la, an 05 with low hours. Also, some summer's I used the crap out of it, then the lake drops 30 feet and off to the coast we go for summer weekends.

looks like a nice boat in the ad.

Later,

Last fall I bought a 2005 Sport Nautique 216 that only had 37 hours on it. The son got heavily involved in Premier Soccer and the family travelled all summer long. So there are reasons it can be so low. This is a fantastic buy if it is real, and it does not get bid way up at the last second (usually happens).

Which is why I said it could be a great deal. There are just some red flags there that the bidders should be careful of. First time listing for the seller. With that few hours, has the boat been maintained even though it has not been used much? Has it been sitting for a long time? If all those things are ok, it could be a great buy!
