He's listed them in an odd category:
Automotive > Manuals & Literature > Parts Catalogues

yeah-they might well be a scam (there's no warning flags coming up apart from the new account)but as long as he'll allow payment on pickup then someone will be laughing.

Looks like the classic american scammer, they always put london as the location, and the boat is a classic american sports fisher. Engines are not Optis but 2-stroke EFis, were these sold over here?

Pass. Vegetation in the background looks like the UK, and the american 'thru' isn't used.The spelling's better than normal for scammers too. May well be a very clever scammer-it does sound american in the sentence construction though.
Might still be genuine though?
I'm gonna ask him for a phone number...soon find out if he won't give one out.

shaft bent and skeg broken
Doesn't sound too good - which shaft??? If it's the drive shaft then can't be a scam - looks like 2 knackered motors going for spares!!!
