BF 135 - Is this Kosher?
On a completely different note to my SS bending issue, saw this on Boats and Outboards......

http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F215631

Is this for real? It seems cheap? The tel no doesn't work and have probably now given my number to a tele marketing company?!?

I'm not sure whether these are the size they use for racing....or is it that a control box (missing) costs a fortune?

Any one know what the score is with it? If it seems too good to be true then it probably is too good to be true?

Dan

The pictures are wrong for the age of the engine, and considering they didn't even make a 135 in 2003 id say its a scam.

Cheers guys.......

However, if any genuine sellers out there are watching, I would be happy to pay £2600 for a BF 135........ (Might even stretch to £2700 for a 150 but MUST be VTEC)

I've got a spare Honda control box, if you end up buying it.
