2004 Malibu LSV 23. Brand New Stereo put in by Lost Pro Audio. seats 13 .It has always been garaged and covered. only used in fresh water. I need to get rid of this boat as soon as possible.
If you have never owned a boat before, there are alot of extras that need to be purchased becasue they dont come with new boat. Many people for get that and all those needed items add up. Such as ropes, wakeboards, flags, lifejackets, stereo system, anchor, bummpers, spare tire for trailer, cover, bimini top, tubes, ects. Im including all of that at no extra price. And boat stereo systems are not cheap.
BRAND NEW Steering Cable
BRAND NEW heater core
Extended TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY!!

I am also including:

7 life jackets
2 wakeboards and boots
2 heavy duty tubes
3 bummpers and ropes
1 anchor and chain and rope all the ropes needed for tubing, wakeboarding, skiing
3 handles one is a pro trick handle,extra flags,
11 coast guard approved life jackets,fire exstinguisher, ext all, included.

Sounds like a great deal right....WRONG! Here are the e-mail we have been exchanging.

I cant believe you haven't sold this boat for the price. What an awesome deal. If I flew out to Miami this weekend can we set up a time to meet? I would love to get on the water and see how she runs. I am sorry to hear about the divorce. I was also raised by a single mom. Not fun. Dad left for another woman. Let me know if this weekend works out for you.

Hi,
After the divorce i have moved to Miami,Fl.The boat is already at the shipping company in Miami, Florida and ready for the shipping. All documents, including owner's manual, clear title and a bill of sale will be provided along with the boat. I have a contract with eBay so this deal must go through them. I'm very busy with my job and I'm left out of the town so I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my boat over the internet. According with the eBay you have 5 days from the time you receive the boat to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not.
 
If you want to buy it please email me your full name and address for shipping so I can initiate the transaction through eBay. After that they will contact you with all necessary information about this transaction(terms,buyer protection,payment instructions,invoice,etc.)
Thank you

Michelle,
I am interested in your boat. Where is the boat located? I would like to see it first before making any decisions. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Can I call you or is e-mail your preferred method of communication? I am not one of these scam guys people seem to worry about these days with on line selling. Just a regular guy looking for another boat.  Talk to you soon.

Hello there and thanks for your interest.
 
The 2004 Malibu Wakesetter LSV i am selling is in excellent condition, no scratches or any kind of damage.I have used it for few times and only in fresh water.The boat has 215 hours.
This is a one owner boat and it has a clear title.If you are interested in buying it the price is $11,400 including shipping and handling. I`m a single mother with 2 children because i divorced with my husband and after the divorce i own this boat,i don`t need it and that`s why i`m selling it so cheap.
We will use eBay protection program for our safety and for payment i prefer to use a eBay Safety Bank Account.
If you want to buy it please email me your full name and address for shipping so I can initiate the transaction through eBay. After that they will contact you with all necessary information about this transaction(terms,buyer protection,payment instructions,invoice,etc.)
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
Michell

The boat has now turned in to a car ??? This is the latest e-mail I recieved. I am too much fun with this lady. ;D

Hi
 
I have already told you I'm very busy with my job and I'm left out of the town so I can't meet in person with you so this is the reason why I chose to sell my car over the internet.
The transaction will be done through Ebay and it will be fully insured by them.They holds the funds until the car is delivered to buyer , inspected and the buyer confirms that he received the car in the described condition. If you find the car at all not as described , you get a full refund.Also, I gave you a 5 days inspection period to check out the car before the money is released to me.

 
Please let me know if you are still interested.
Michell
