« **on:** March 20, 2008, 08:43:22 PM »

Swear to God this cool little Sleekcraft 455 Olds and WJ is going to West Africa (Cameroon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameroon) next tuesday, we have to get it into a 20 ft by 7'6" shipping container (interesting since the boat and trailer are 21' X8'

But we find strength in adversity ! The money show up yesterday in my wire tranfer account we'll keep you posted Thought this might be interesting for you folks Tom

that deal has red flags all over it.....but if the money is in your account......

somethin smells fishy still lol

I guess I would move the funds into another account first or something. That whole Africa/wire transfer thing would scare me too.

I know a millionaire in Nigeria who needs your account #to transfer funds into and you can keep..................ah nevermind!

Marc and I owned one once, same hull, but our's sat under a freakin' tree for years and didn't look anything like this one. Damn salty boat.

Hard to say I'll be the first one to admitt but a wire transfer is a "done deal" its the safest way to make atransaction like this ,we dont take checks or CC's or anything else for that matter (except from Canada) Crazy thing is how the DMV works done Spent two hours in the DMV office yesterday on the "group W bench" Ph*kin terrible

Good luck Tom. Hope all goes well. The "Group W Bench" with the mother rappers and the father stabbers with the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things? Sorry guys, you gotta know the song.

I beg to differ on this one! Ask me how I got onto the Checksystems system and wont be removed for 3 years or so. Just let the money sit in the account for 2 weeks or so. The money that was wire transfered into my account was stolen from someone elses account and I was held liable for the full amount.

Ryan Thanks for the Tip I'll run by my Banker ,Right after the mountain of paper work I'm struggling thru with Dmv US customs was cool the are imfomative and easy to deal with ,re CA dmv its crazy you got to put the boat and trailer in the dealer name (took two hours at DMV)then when the new titles come back you go back to dmv (in person) ,they copy it and mark it for "export" just a big circle jerk

« **Reply #12 on:** April 15, 2008, 09:23:56 PM »

Well the money's GOOD ,got the approval from CA DMV the US Customs folk and the spca ,the nra and the nspca and etc etc and all the B'sh*t paper work now how do you put an 8 ft wide 21 foot long boat and trailer in a container thats 20 ft long and 7'9" wide ? Whatcha think ? (dolly wheels) west Afrika here we come !

That is really cool, just imagine the faces of the people who offload that at the docks. I've heard of people sending used car parts to that area, they literally have nothing.

Thanks for keeping up the posts
