does anybody here live in, or by old saybrook CT? the reason i'm asking is because there is a boat for sale at jensen marine that i'm interested in but can't get a straight price. the boat is a 04 38 foot fountain te. was wondering if maybe some kind soul who live by there would go find out for me?

I can give Eric Jensen a call tomorrow and ask him. I have bought and sold boats thru Eric and have never had a problem with him. I want to ask him about another boat he has and can ask him about the Fountain at the same time. I do not see the Fountain listed on his Yachtworld site so possibly it has sold.

even if he has sold it let me know please? it was listed on boat trader and Jensen marine was listed as the contact. i then did a google boat search and found the same boat listed for (get this) $14,200. i then received an e-mail today from a guy who claims this is the right price! i know if it sounds to good to be true it probably is but it has become a quest to find out! i do have an e-mail in to jensen marine also, so we will see what happens! my guess is this guy who e-mailed me today is a scammer.

Obviously the other guy emailing you is a scammer and has nothing to do with Jensen Yacht Sales. I spoke with Eric today about that boat and I think he said he had returned your email. The boat has indeed sold and in fact was sold to a guy in Mexico. The boat did sell for a real good price but no where near 14,200.

kind of what i figured. $14,200 for that boat would be the deal of the century! thank you very much for getting ahold of jensen marine. it's very much appreciated!

well, the search continues! thanks again.

why not play along with this jerk and get the police involved as well. Always nice to see a scammer and thief get what they deserve.

i talked to Eric Jensen (great guy!) today on the phone and gave him the specifics on where i found the boat listed etc. I'm going to try and drag this out and see what becomes of it. this same scammer tried to get me around three months ago with a 31 foot fountain, only that ad was a little more believable ($16,00 for an 89). i will keep everyone posted as it unfolds!
