John,

I am still looking for a 65 I can make a deal on...... but I think we need one on both coasts....
so keep your eye's open... :wink:

I was merely suggesting that I go down and pick up 'your' new 26M

I have retired 2 of my 3 tow vehicles this week...... the F-250's, and I am now going to tow with the new baby....a little f-150 supercrew..... it seems to ride nice with the boat., so I guess it can tow a macM

I got a feeling that I would end up with a 26X on a steel trl !!! :D :D :D :o :? :wink:

My deal comes with free delivery ! :P :wink:

Took me 2 1/2 hrs on a Sunday afternoon to hack out a deal for stern seats & full Dowsar enclosure also, Art is a tough cookie to crack ! :? I think were still freinds ! :) 8)

I'll be using my 96 Ford Ranger supercab for my towing

you trust me with a chainsaw near fibreglass and near your new enclosure??


I am honored....

However, I must warn you, I was sewing and repairing my BWY enclosure 2 nights ago from my last incident.....(I am not alway easy on equipment.)

But at least I have all of this winters mods all laid out. , I just have to finish the repairs before I start modding. All that wind.....

ohhhh drat.... I have to use up some personal leave, and it is sunny and windy, damn these short days..... later all.......

Cat,
If you're the guy that's been sending me those emails I want you to know that I forward all of them directly to the FBI. Only they're using crazy Arab names. So it can't be you. Or can it? Whoever it is that's sending them, be expecting a knock on the door soon.

I'm sure. I called the number. Got a machine. Left a message. No reply.
No doubt it was bogus.

BoatTrader Macgregor scam

Post by Luke »

I emailed to the "owner" a question about the boat. I knew it was a scam because they listed the boat as being located in Jewett Ohio, a small town not too far from my home. There is no boat dealer in Jewett. Below is the emailed response I got from the scammer.
Luke

Thank you for your interest in our boat: 2004 Macgregor 26 M Powersailer STILL FOR SALE
