Interesting Craigs List finds

What do you think? Eithert there is something really wrong with this thing or maybe a scam?

If not, someone is going to get a hell of a deal.

Same exact add showed up in Boston:

So, that certainly raises my suspicions. Not a whole lot of info either.

and if you want to find the real listing and price of that one...it's only 10K more than those fake ads you find on craigslist.

Looks a little rough but only 3k.


79 Mustang

That's a pretty rare original interior. Doesn't that colored hull M17 by Reid have that kind too?

Rare original interior, not rare original boat. I agree- Im not a huge fan of the M17 in general, but the big button interior with the swivel buckets is pretty cool. Reid did have that dark blue hulled one for a very short time, sold it to a friend. Gorgeous original boat- got to check it out in person in Oct.

So, I used a fake email address and actually replied to this ad.


92 Sport

Here is the reply I got a few days later.



Hello there,

My name is Tanya, and I'm emailing you about the Correct Craft Sport I have for sale. The boat is in perfect condition, with no need for any additional repairs. Excellent condition, no dents and no mechanical problems. It has never been in salt water. Only 162 hrs and will come with trailer and all the extras included. I legally own a clear title, free of any liens or loans, under my name. The price was reduced at $2,900. Because of my divorce settlement, i own this boat and as a woman i don`t need it so i`m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible (this is the reason for the cheap price).
If you have any other questions, or need more info, just drop me an email and I'll get back to you.

Thank you for your interest,
Tanya

I don't find it fishy at all. You're all just waaaaay to suspicious!

DavidG sent an email asking where it could be seen, he did not get a response.

I emailed the actual seller, just to let them know the craiglist ads are out there. I got a response that there is not much they can do about it and thanked me for letting them know. Real ad for the boat, they want 12,900 for it.

A real woman in a divorce settlement, would take a sawsall to the thing, and physically take her half.

This boat has been for sale for awhile, I remember seeing it listed when I was looking for mine.

I have seen that one. I actually like the exposed/finished would floor aft of the doghouse.

Ha! I was wondering I that was your boat. It's not in the diaries though.
