Cobra 7.5 in UK, IE or Continent Wanted

[edwardoplunkett]

Prefer 2001 or newer. Looking for a motor away package but will consider something that needs a bit of work if the price is appropriate.

Would like to get this sorted in the next 30 days.

Please email any offers. Thank you.

Best,

Ed

There is one here Rib Centre, Cork, Ireland, I think its 7.5 / 8m, its not on the website but I has been at the ribcentre in Cork for I would guess about two years & it has a for sale sign on it.
I dont know what year it is but it looks ok.

Hi Ed,

please message me as I have a 1999 7.5m Cobra Nautique in ex condition always dry/land stored, complete with all top of the range gps,depth/fish finder, vhf radio, CD player, Speakers etc etc, all brand new upholstery supplied & fitted by cobra for us when we bought it, plus brand new snipe rollercoster trailer which has only been used once on road when purchased as same time as boat both directly from cobra, with purchase receipt to show ownership & it is a cobra.

One other owner who owned it from new, cobra then bought it back from him in france, overhauled it back to like new and then we purchased it from them as a basic rib approx 3yrs ago.

I maybe wrong, Ed my apologies if I am but this interest in buying a boat smells a tad fishy to me and looks like the start of a potential scam. All be wary. There are certain signs which I would be wary about, like for example;

The user name - a charator from a sony play station game (could be legit but doesn't sound from the netherlands.
Join date - probably the date of posting this
Content - very brief around what is being wanted
Time frame - in the next 30 days

there are many scams around at the moment.

[boristhebold]

So what do you all reckon, was this wanted request a possible scam ?

[John Kennett]

His IP address checks out, which is a start, and it looks like he registered purely to create a wanted ad, so the join date wouldn't indicate a problem.

It doesn't look particularly scammy to me, but as ever it is sensible to be wary.
