Looks like a scam to me, i think that boat should sell for over $20k. If I lived closer (east coast) I would offer to see and buy it for the asking price immediately. If it’s a scam it would be exposed quickly after that, probably with the usual. “I’m in the military so it’s in the location we are not” and if I cover shipping the seller will credit the costs to my purchase price. Or “It is my Son’s boat he is in the Service so ....”

The worst that could happen is that it is not a scam and I buy a boat I can flip for twice the price in season. The latter has only happpened once out of over 20 attempts. It was for two Kawasaki jets skis on a trailer which I ended up using for two or three years before upgrading.
 
Lol we did something like this once in college. My buddy had a pretty much brand new loaded R/T Charger. We were bored and drunk one night so we took some pictures of it and posted it for sale on craigslist for a very cheap (but somewhat realistic) price. His phone was blowing up for a few hours before he caught on.
 
I bet there is supposed to be a 2 in front of that 8
 
Scam. K.C. location provided, NJ Registration, St. Louis area code. Photos don't match either. Parked in different location, keys in, keys out, GPS folded up, folded down, etc. Weird.
