Now, enough mushy stuff. I'm sad to say, I've been burned by a member here. I'm posting this as a warning to my friends here. Sadly, not everyone here is to be trusted! I won't give names. It's not my intention to bash anyone here, just to warn you.
I bought an outboard from a member who had it posted in the BBF "For Sale" section. I trusted him because he was a fellow BBF member. I never thought in a million years anyone here would take advantage of another member. I never saw it crank before I bought it because I had to meet the man in a parking lot two and a half hours from my house, which was the half way point of our houses. If it had been any other add from any other web site, I'd never have trusted him to tell the truth about the motor.
Every thing he said was a lie. It ended up costing me $700.00 extra just to get it running. The extra stuff he advertised to come with the motor was just more BS. The fuel tank that was to come with the motor still hasn't been received.
When I email him, he won't return the message. He is basically hiding!
A $650.00 motor has now cost me almost $1,500.00, and I'm still missing the fuel tank.
So, just a warning to my friends here, maybe it's time we have to start being more aware of each other, and not be so trusting of folks here. There are people here now who will rip you off if your not careful.
Again, this post is not to throw mud at anyone, just to warn those of you who, like me are too trusting of some of the people we have met here at BBF.
