Evinrude 250 E-TEC HO in London too cheap???

A buddy of mine is interested in buying an Evinrude 250 E-TEC HO. He has sent me these two links:

http://www.wave-action.co.cc/outboard.html
http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/o...50-hp-PAA52457

Does anyone know this company in London? The prices seem to be very cheap (far too cheap after my opinion). Is it possible that these adverts are published by scammers?

Thanks for your help.

Paddy

99% sure it's a scam Paddy.

The same (or very similar) website pops up every now and again with dirt cheap boats/engines, excellent postage options and a free returns service, always has a .cc web address too.

From memory, they use the details of companies which have recently gone into administration as there registered address. Can't remember the exact details but it was just very dodgy!

Some of the pictures I recognise as scams from a year or two ago on boats and outboards. Particularly the merc 225 efi in a box, I phoned up about that one.

So obviously those particular Evinrudes would come with Queen Anne legs or the offshore cabriole version.
So cheap as chips but rare as rocking horse sh.t-!
