I don’t know if it’s a good deal but I think it pretty sweet!

That boat has been on and off the market for a few months. When you compare it to what they’re worth new (around 650k) I think it’s a pretty good deal. It has top of the line electronics and new power, pretty much turn key. I think for 190K I would be yelling “start the car”

Pretty amazing presentation, even a realtor virtual tour. Looks like a pretty good deal, other than older power, really well outfitted rare to find autopilot and new electronics.

Seems good if the 135’s are enough power

I’m sure that thing hauls

It sounds like a very good deal. My buddy has a small version of that and loves it. Probably 100k new outfitted like that. A survey good inspection would be appropriate given the low price.

Anybody have experience with these boats? Considering something for the family for day trips plus a bit of fishing. Thanks!

@rockdog is also selling his although he hasn't listed but he does have a new boat.
About those boats, bay liner built about a million of them. They are super economical and that engine is very user friendly. They are not a strictly fishing boat but I have caught many fish out of one. Very good multi purpose family boat would be my assessment.

Good luck,
Darin

Great deal, that Outrage would be one hell of a fishing machine. Downside is Center Console, which are very popular on the East Coast and Florida, as they allow 360-degrees of fishing and allow you to catch lots of sunshine to work on your tan ... but not as popular here in the PNW because of our much wetter weather.

Cheers!

A family member has one of these. The 3.0 litre is slightly underpowered. Needs tabs to get up on plane for sure. Yes it’s decent on gas but marginal for fishing. He does fish and it works for him. There are better boats out there for fishing, but I’d does work for the family and an all around boat.

I picked up a Malibu 182 about a month ago. Been loving it. Solid boat

If a guy could get this lower could be good, aside from exchange what other fees are involved when buying in US.

This has all the markings of a scam post, in my opinion. What is that motor and trailer worth alone when separated?

Looks like the last ad in Miami is possibly the original, all others seem to be scams. The only photo to show the registration numbers, all others are 'shopped out.

Look at the map in each ad indicating the area of ownership, plus other tell tale grammatical indicators usually found on a scam ad.

So not disputing what you say at all--just want to know how this scam would work--just for my own edification??

I learned about them years ago from trying to sell a piano, but the signs were too obvious that I did not fall for it. Then when asking about these supposed great deals we see on boats, the m.o. is usually the same....takes days for a reply, there is always a story about where they live and how you cannot meet them, or they are overseas, the wife is selling it, and of course the money or deposit system. Others can chime in with what they know as tell tale signs too.

As well, a judicious use of the arrows, spelling mistakes and features of a great boat that you would not waste space writing about. Yes, we all want that cooler and vhf to be the first things crossed off our shopping list on our dream boat.

EG:

2000 Robalo 2220 CC >>>>New upholsteryv Front cooler 120 quarts<<<< - $18200 (VHF radio)

Ok I understand all that but how does he get the money?? does he ask for a deposit, or want you to send money sight unseen based on a forged survey?
