Michael,
Thanks for the info. I will look into this.

Do you know anything about this boat or seller?

its the same boat on two websites, one in australia and the other in the US.
I have been looking for boats on the web and found at least 4 other scams.They tend to evade the question of viewing the boat and ask for a deposit to hold it. One ad provided an address that was a Fujitsu warehouse in Singapore and anothoer was a hopsice in Malaysia. Our government has a department that deals with this stuff. I have notified them;
