Anyone here buy this Tohatsu 9.8 2-stroke from Ebay?

[Fenlander]

This came up in my Ebay alert emails this morning but had already sold by the time I clicked on it. Wonder if anyone here got it?

Some alert flags re the seller's situation but apparently bought new at the boat show in 2006 and never used. It does look new in the images and if all above board cheap for the current market at £1195.

Almost unique and an absolute steal if genuine.

Looks like it got sold off Ebay. Someone made him an offer he couldnt refuse
And no fees then either.

Obviously a flag but just for the record - it can happen! A friend on here bought an oldish unit a few back that had been stored in it's original shipping box - never been wet. The seller had purchased a few of them for a commercial project that didn't get going and was clearing inventory.

Yep appreciate that. Just that in the background images the look of the place was far more like a sell anything anytime for a few notes type of place rather than dry store for 15yrs.

Having said that were I still looking I’d have been very tempted.

Interestingly he has the 4m Tohatsu brand SIB that was apparently bought at the same time, also unused.

But at £1575 with 15yrs life on the glue compared to a new Honwave T40 at £1195 from Bridger Marine he’s way overpriced.
