Yep there is a reason as to why it is " no reserve" ...

See if you can guess why.

ya know....it looked really nice until i saw that interior and i think the $1600 figure might be just a little low if you want the job done right. Then there's that red (spend every weekend waxing it) hull to deal with.

That's the first 180 Ltd Edition i've seen though!

Looks to me like he has a dummy account that he is using to bid it up. There are a bunch of bids from users that have no feedback or bid history, that seems a little fishy. It appears to be in good shape, except for the interior. It perplexes me that someone can keep the exterior looking good but let the interior fall apart. ALso looks like the original gold Mariah decals have been changed for the new ones and the factory supports that raise the engine deck are gone.

Yep...could be a little 'game playing' with the bidding process which isn't unusual on EBay anymore

A couple of other things stood out. The owner is claiming a 'Lifetime Hull Warranty' as a selling feature. Not sure who he thinks will honour that warranty.

So, the interior is crap and it just needed a brand new motor. It has a mooring cover which doesnt appear to have been used given the condition of the interior and it's got that "i just Armour-alled the entire boat" look too. Oh yeah, it's got 'sparkles' in the glass! Nice trailer though.

Yeah ... I think you guys nailed this one on the head.

Minus the rips and tears, the Shabah is one nice boat. Too bad this guy let it go for crappers.
