I was thinking about buying this one just to flip. For $1500 how could go wrong? Thoughts?

I don't see the mast nor is there any mention of it. The rest of the boat looks good. If you can get it for a low price you could easily recoup your money on the motor and sails alone.

Seller is in Florida and there is no way to look at what you're buying? PayPal NOT excepted? All seems a little fishy to me.

If it's a legitimate deal someone got a nice boat for a steal. Even if it needs a mast they will be way ahead.

Yep, that's a great price even without the mast. Not sure how easy it'll be to source a replacement mast, but it's got some nice sails, the boom is in the cockpit, the interior needs a bit of TLC, and the hull looks good. Assuming there's no delaminations or other damage not shown in the photos, it could easily be refitted with a new mast & sailed, or parted out for more than they just paid for.

Looks like all the sailboats in that yard are being stored with the masts down--not that uncommon around here. That mast is probably on a rack nearby.

As-is, where-is, but not available to be seen?? Ask questions?? I have one......... <i>WTF?</i>

To be quite honest, to me it seems like a scam.
