I've been lurking for a week or three, since doing my powerboat L2, cos I'm desperate to sell my dayboat and buy a rib. I can't believe how many scams are going on, I was getting emails from the first guy selling the Osprey, he was going to deliver it for 2K etc. Now I've got one from Boats and Outboards (F218451)

"Hello,


The boat is still for sale. Very good condition with low hours.
Has 30 days testing period that means you can ask for a full refund if you don't like it and we will give you the money back.The delivery charge is set at £ 170 and you will receive your product in max 7-10 days directly at your address with all papers and documents.
Please place your order for this item on our website : www.jetdrive-ltd.co.cc . After that please wait for your email invoice. You will receive it in max 24 hours.
More photos on our website.

Thank you for your interest.

Regards

Jetdrive Team"

Are there any genuine boats for sale in Scotland (all 3 scams claim to be in Scotland) all I want is a SR4m, just like everyone else I guess!

My "looks ok" was tongue in cheek.

Funny thing is, they put the jetdrive website up after they sent the email, cos when I tried to find out who it was the site didn't exist.
