Probably a scam, but how?

Small boat for $50.  Not a lot of info, one picture and a phone number.

Photo looks suspiciously like a 3D rendering to me.

Based on this: "Call or text only- NO EMAIL!!! If I don’t respond, keep calling back- phone gets bad service down here." I'm guessing this is somebody trying to prank a phone number with a barrage of calls and texts.

You pay more than $50 for the plans to build a boat like that.  Driving down the Thames?  Oy ....

Or, maybe it's not a scam, and it's a bait and switch price like so many fb adds these days?

Coulda just left off a zero or two.

Kidney harvester.

It says make offer so I assume the $50 is just to have a price listed.  Strange photo though

In reply to Appleseed :

That's why I always check to make sure a seller does not have other listings for fresh kidneys.

An outboard tug boat ?

length 140, deff, not feet

Only three years old ?

Calling a guy to see if he'll give you a tug for $50... What could go wrong?

Do we have a scale?  Unless "tins of tuna" has another meaning than the one I'm familiar with, maybe it's a model?

I have no clue what "tins of tuna" might mean, but I was having trouble figuring out the Thames, and Hudson references in the same post... With the probability of a 3D rendering, you may have solved the puzzle. My new vote is model...

Here's a video of one:

Nice find on the video. Even in the video the windows look CGI. So not exactly a model , but sorta like one.

Back to either didn't add a few zeros, or a scam of some sort.

This lil guy is at Disney

All the old guys sing along with me... "It's a small world, after all,. It's a small world after all. It's a small, small, world..."

Of course it's called Berkeley Engineering.  But there are real ones out there.

...Or prank.

One of the missing price zeros is on the length, the description makes no sense, and the ad photo is a manufacturer stock photo. I'd say it should be flagged for removal regardless.

Edit: ...If scam, probably based on "Cryptocurrency OK".

Now I have an ear worm for the day........Gee, thanks.

I like it but it would be brutal on anything but still water.  

Gillian would fit, but he'd have to jettison the Skipper.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

I think my wife and I could both fit on that bench, but it'd be a close thing.

and then not enough room for the furry kids.

Now, all you old guy's sing along, again... "Well this is a tale of a..."

Ok, so I don't remember the words; but some of you will be whistling!
