Either the seller is a bumbling idiot with no clue, or it's a scam.

1. He can't be an idiot because he knows to much about Whalers, and describes very well all of the work he has put into it. A new Morse control alone is a $550 expenditure, which makes the $2K price seem ridiculous. He knows too much to sell the boat for 2K.

2. It sounds like a "lifted" ad to me. From the photos, etc, the boat appears to be worth around 10K, as good versions of this boat are getting increasingly hard to find, while overall demand is increasing.
