It's crazy. Apparently these ads are phishing for email addresses since I guess they think you're a prequalified mark based on having cash on hand. At least the office line went quiet for a bit on scam calls, but I see they're ramping up again. It's disgraceful, really.

Craigslist if full of scam listings right now, boats listed at 1/10th their true value, and as always, if it looks too good to be true, it is.

it seems like any form of recreation around me is also selling like crazy, bicycles riding themselves out ofthe stores soon as they get them in, cheaper boats selling soon as listed, and dirt bikes and atv also and selling for crazy prices .
i am looking for a mid size dirt bike for my kids and even mid 70's garbage ones are $2000 and gone in a day or two
i hope this is over sooner than later but looking at what is going on it says otherwise

There are 50 million people out of work. Last month alone one and a half million people applied for unemployment insurance. The number of Covid-19 cases is exploding across the country causing states to slow or reverse their plans for reopening. No one knows when this pandemic is going to end or what its long term economic impact is going to be. Food banks across the country are overwhelmed with the demand for food. I don't know who the hell is buying all these boats. There may come a time when there are a lot more people looking to sell boats than looking to buy them. We should recognize how lucky we are to be healthy and able to enjoy the pleasure of this hobby at a time when many of our fellow citizens are suffering.

They. don’t...I follow the rule of “right of way of gross tonnage” aka “not who’s right, but who is left....“…sad but true...

I hope all these boats selling come with safe boating courses.
