Porsche Boat - ebay - scam?

Saw this on ebay. Only $275,000 starting. Feedback sucks.

Cool looking boat, tho...

With all the misspellings, lack of info, it almost sounds like the boat is in Nigeria...

Item 160179485230

You'd think for $550,000, they'd give you a windscreen or something.

The boat pictured on eBay is the Kineo, designed by Porsche Design at Zell am See, and powered by a 928 engine. Built in 1985, only 3 are known to exist. One is here: http://porschekineo.com/

Currently, Rinspeed owns the rights to the Kineo design.


More in my price range:

VERY cool looking boat... but whoever buys it is paying a lot for exclusivity.

If I was going to drop that kind of coin on a speed boat I would go for a Reggie Fountain... maybe not as nice looking but it would kick that boats butt big time.

I see that too, on the "technical info" page. But on that same page, look at the engine photo and you can see that the photo is of a 928 marine v8. Maybe the owner changed them out?

The new boat is designed by Porsche Design, built by Fearless Yachts, and has a 525hp Dodge Viper engine. Priced at around $300k.
