Buy it price for $8900.00 ??? Notice how it does not say anywhere the condition of the boat or engine (photo's look nice)

If you are anywhere near it and can go look at it, the deal might be excellent. It is only a 16 footer, but it does appear to be at a dealer, not a PO box.

I might buy it just for the heck of it, although I'm betting it's a scam

I'll second the scam. I looked at 3 Dauntless 160's before I bought my Montauk. They were each over 20K and that was for 04's. The dealership seems legit. But the price is just not right. I can't tell from the photo's but if it has the 115 4 stroke that boat should be at least 23K

Someone screwed up if that is legit.

Zero feedback and a good deal is a scam....

SCAM: I emailed the person last night and this morning this is what I got back

move to Europe and i need the money soon and this is why the price is below market

Thanks,
Kay

Bummer. That boat would be perfect for my brother.

Just for shits and giggles I emailed the person under a different email address. I have some time to kill today. I wonder how long I can screw with their head
