Those pic's have been used many times before in scams. :eek: I have seen it once for sale in Wisconsin, with the palm trees in the pic??? This Mag was recently sold on ebay for around 18k. I do not think the new owner would take that kind of loss, BEWARE.

Thanks, I'll notify Craigs List.....


There was a 38 Scarab in Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, ????? Just did the same thing on.....


What gets me, when you go through the deal checking, they sure have it down to sounding legit.....

I still have the boat available. There are no structural or electrical problems with this boat. It is in outstanding condition . Both hull and interior in nice condition .No mechanical issues with this engine at all. It starts easily and restart easily all day. It has ALWAYS been properly maintained and never run hard or abused. Trailer is in very nice condition and the tires are almost new with plenty of tread left. The seats and all the interior are in like new condition and has no fading, tears, stains ,mildew etc. It has a clear and clean title, free of all liens and encumberances.
Unfortunately I am not home and I can't sell it myself because my sister had a baby and she had some complications so she is still under medical care. Her husband asked me if I can come and take care of things around the house until she gets better. This is no problem for me as far as the transaction is concerned because I was selling this through OOT anyway. I believe you know what OOT is if you buy and sell online often, if you don't I'll be glad to walk you through the process. Let me know if you are still interested

Key Largo Magnum /This one has been around the block many times

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Magnum has had 4 owners in less that 2 years...what is the problem.I have known this boat thru the 3rd owner,here is what I know about it.
1.Harry Muller brought the boat from the west coast and had some gel work done to it. Photo of the original boat is attached.
2.Sold it to a person on the west coast of Fl for $11,000 who rebuilt one of the engines after it blew 1st time out.He then sold it for $17,000 to a person from the Carolina's.
3.3rd owner sold it and it is now in Key Largo.
4.Original HIN # has been altered or deleted,and has been re-titled as an 82..,most likley it is a 70's boat.
5.All hardware was power-coated black an is peeling,$2,000 cost to re-due.
6.Swapped out correct seats with west coast barrel/river type of seating.
7.Engines are not 500 hp each,no more that 375-400
8.Trailer has been swaped out,was a 3 axel with new rubber,now a two wheel

Who ever buys it,look it over carefully. Bud

Thanks Ratickle, If you know Bud please pass on my interest to him. As for the Avatar I have no issues changing it but I want to keep the Flat Deck and my sweet sixteen if that is okay . They are Aronow legacies as well LOL.

[Anchored] Jeff, had a friend try to look at this Mag a few weeks ago in Key Largo. They would not let him look at the engines?????
Not the best attitude to sell a boat..
