Bargains (Not mine) $5K AR230 project in NC

[sethman919]

Might be worth it just for someone looking for parts. Trailer is like new according to ad.

Yamaha AR230 with 23 ft trailer

This boat was put away WORKING 7 years ago in Broad Creek Marina in Wanchese. This is where it was stored when not being used. Engines were flushed after each use. The 23 ft trailer was purchased 3...

@PaulyB ! Add to the flotilla!

Tempting...

Well if it’s not a scam (why were all the pics taken outside the razor topped fence?) Then I’d make sure the termites have been properly exterminated.




Seriously, what kind of cleaner would a marina use that does this to upholstery! Otherwise seems like a bargain.

On a side note... this isnt real far from ke.. maybe an hour and a half if anyone wants it and wants me to go look at it!

In the ad it says the owner wasn’t there when he was taking pictures and he is the one who had the keys to the yard... Seems like it could be credible.

@sethman919 I’m assuming it’s non ho motors and was used in saltwater?

I have no idea. Not mine. Just spotted it on CL and thought someone might be interested.

It also says to stop by and take a look at the boat anytime. Wouldn't you need the key? But the owner is going to be present for the sale with title in hand... it reads as a scam to me. Could be wrong.

Ahhh, I thought sethman919 was posting it for his friend. Oops.

I may be jaded, there is a guy local to me that tries to buy and flip all the jet boats he can get his hands on cheap. To drive down the prices on fixer uppers he runs fake ads on CL.

This is cool because you can re make it how you want it. Sea deck with matching upholstery, etc... I bought a tore up AR230 and made it beautiful. Mine is HO tho.

Looks like they cleaned the upholstery with abrasive.... sanding discs LOL

I'm so intrigued by this...I can't imagine it's legit and still available. If someone could get eyes on it, and I could work the deal I'd be willing to pay for your time involved.

The windshield is worth close to 5K alone. If it's not a scam...

It seemed like a scam the first day it was posted, two weeks later and it’s still available...scam confirmed

 

[Trevor Shipman]

I don’t think it was a scam. I talked to the guy and it seemed credible.

Yeah I think it's just a huge project. That's why it's still there and explains the price. It's also way the heck out in the outer banks.

We've been emailing back and forth, boat is scheduled to be picked up this weekend. I missed out on it.
