Kills the deal when you want to see the item !! I'm always curious to know how many people get sucked in to the deal, the barstewards keep trying so it must be worth their efforts.......

I had something similar about 6 weeks ago.

I found an Avon adventurer 6m with a 115 four stroke for strange money, had a similar story that I am sure you have all become aware of, boat was husbands, he was taken ill, she has to pay the mortgage and needs money, but does not want any viewers as that is too upsetting.

Said I was interested but wanted to come and view the boat, just got silly excuses back about you have nothing to worry about, I will deliver anywhere, I could have been living in Iona or john o groats for all they knew.

Unfortunately it came to be that if it is too good to be true it normally is.

Best of luck finding a new boat, there have been a few nice ones in the classified on here recently.
