Too good to be true?

[GRADS]

Sent the guy an email about an hour ago so we'll see. If it is true I'll buy it and figure out what I want to do with it later.

A lot of boat for the money, even if it's only half way clean!

 

[Bowtiepower00]

A steal if it's relatively clean. Always loved those twin small block 28's, they also made a zxo mcob.

 

[ghansen]

Nice!

I hope the best for you, but pretty sure that's a phishing add. The pic doesn't look too "Sacramento" like, and there's only one picture. A guy looking to unload his rig cheap is also going to take a ton pics if it's that clean.

Still don't understand why some sellers don't include detailed pics of engine, dash, drive, etc! Has to be a scam. Should be north of $30k right?

... it may be too good to be true and here may be why... on some Model Donzi’s and perhaps all of them the fuel tank is fiberglass and is mounted forward and fiberglass tanks are a no no anymore...in order to replace said fuel tank, if in fact that is the case with this model you have to cut and lift the topsides away from the hull...spensive... again I do not know if that is applicable to this model???...

 

[Paul65k]

I will bet you right now that it's a scam......say $100!!!

First of all the picture is from somewhere back east....just look at it. I have also found lately that any post with special characters in the title are almost always a scam of some kind.....I'll bet for sure that you'll get some kind of message back with a scam.....but then again maybe you truly can get something for nothing in this world.........NOT!!!

You're right about the not looking like Sacramento...It looks Northeast to upper Midwest with the Rose of Sharon tree blooming in the background and all that crabgrass in the lawn.

If he's on the level then $12,900 is a pretty good deal for a twin screw Donzi.

 

[SBMech]

Total Scam.

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

It's a scam.....the wheels on that trailer are too far forward.

Funny, I thought the same thing when I looked at it.

 

[Outdrive1]

It’s gotta have negative tongue weight. That trailer is so wrong. Lol.

 

[LuauLounge]

Ad in Miami CL as well, so it has to be legit

 

[lbhsbz]

It's a bullshit ad. No registration numbers on the boat, only one picture, only an email to contact.

 

[spectras only]

Total scam. No contact number, no registraion # on hull etc....! i was interested in a Donzi 22 Classic with 502 listed in Bellingham for sale for 10K. Again, no contact#. I sent a reply to the CL listing , never heard from the seller.
The ad was up for a few more weeks before taken down. There're scammers from Quebec Canada also that are crafty to pretend being from the states posting from US locations. Grads , go for it for shits and giggles and let us know hw it pans out. You can't loose. BTW, it doesn't look like a 28 either, more like the 26ZX with single engine

 

[McRib]

It only has 2 axles. I'm out!

 

[lbhsbz]

It only has 2 axles. I'm out!

It's a Donzi, not a Schiada...

 

[GRADS]

It's a Donzi, not a Schiada...

A Schiada that size would require at least 5 axles.

 

[lbhsbz]

A Schiada that size would require at least 5 axles.

You've been gaying up every thread I post in tonight...quit it.

Well I guess at this point if the guy gets back to me I'll fuck with him.

Exactly, make him write out detailed instructions, waste his time. Post the results!
