There is a guy by the name of Herbert Hoegemeier  pursuing the want ads  on the boat sites. I had a want ad for some nice headers for my BBC and he saw my ad called my on the phone and said he had some real nice ones for  300.00 dollars Then he said he has a real nice motor mount kit in chrome for BBC for 200.00 , we agreed on 100.00  total shipping from Missouri to Az. He asked me to go to the local Walmart and send him the  $600.00 to his Walmart money card . I did so as he asked back on 1/22/15. It took him 3 weeks and all he sent me was some totally crappy rusted out  ceramic coated headers. His info. is Herbert  Hoegemeier  Missouri phone number 314 - 358- 5260  Walmart acc. # 11888701495352479  he is bad news and a burn artist. Please spread the word to prevent other fellow boaters from being burned. I don't know what his ID name he uses on the boaters website? Maybe somebody knows this dude ! Sincerely Wally

I hate the say this, but your first red flag for you to see was the Walmart money card. They are used to scam people all the time. Sorry to hear about that, hope you find what your looking for

Another one to avoid is Jim Rich. Also goes by JR Performance or Emanon Marine. Hes out of bullhead city and hes been hiding behind his wife's name Donna Robertson to do transactions because he can't even get a paypal account or bank account. I know the guy personally and highly suggest no one do business with him or let him work on your boat. Hes a hack and does terrible work.

Wow. What a POS dude.

Well what goes around comes around.  He'll get his

Excellent thread thank you for looking out for fellow boaters.
I was in contact with the guy from highlands . Thanks for the heads up.

Ernie is probably ok for smaller things, as long as you know what you're looking at. As far as complete boats or engines, I'd run like hell
