These photos appear in an ad back East and I'm trying to figure out if its a scam.
(i.e. one of those deals where they pulled the photos from an old ad or post, and don't actually have the boat)

I don't know anything about the ad you're seeing, but the build is on page 7 of the New Builds from the Mold section titled Another 25 Rage, it's by Nordic John. Looks like it's a 2014 and had a base price of about 97,000 with that engine and hyd. steering, that one has some nice extras though.

Total scam. This boat is in a warehouse in British Columbia Canada and belongs to Dean at Captains village. Paramount Marine does not have this boat or the 29 Escape that's on his website.
Thanks for taking the time to look into that !
Unfortunately the Rage was exactly what I was looking for, but the deal sounded too good to be true so I started doing some homework before I gave him a deposit.

Members of another forum lead me to a post where he was cutting and pasting boats from another dealers site, and Googling the owners name actually led to an arrest record for defrauding owners in a brokerage scam. (Sound familiar?)

Hard to understand this guys end game....collect a few deposits and then what, make a run for it? It’s not like he could deliver the boat and defer paying off the owner....he’s advertising boats he doesn’t even have, and using his real name. How’s that not going to get out quick on social media?

How is that a scam?

Apparently he doesn't own or have a contracts to sell the boats he advertising on his brokerage site, so he's taking deposits on boats he doesn't have.

I was asking how someone giving Nordic a CC deposit on the Escape than asking for it back is a workable scam. I think you may have been making separate statements....

The CC deposit wasn't given to Nordic, it was given to this guy claiming that he has an Escape for sale, but does not.

No the guy that called had given a deposit to the guy saying that he had the 29 Escape for sale. He contacted us to see if the guy was real. Turns out he wasn't!

Let me add Nordic is going above any beyond as usual!

In this case they are helping look out for potential buyers of their used boats, even when they are not the selling party.

He finds boats for sale then tries to find buyers to bring to the seller or company selling the boat. Basically a middleman to the middleman lol

All of this is done by taking ads and posting it as his own.

I can’t remember if he tags original poster or not in his ads.
