Litte Craig's List help Anyone?

I am helping a buddy sell a boat on Craig's list. This guy responded and haggled over email/text, but this looks extremely suspicious. Do you guys have any input? If I clear my paypal so there is no money in it, is there any way they can get to my bank accounts that I should avoid this?

Thanks for the prompt response.. I am ready to buy it now for my personal
use but am not local and due to the nature of my work, phone calls making
and visiting of website are restricted but i squeezed out time to check this
advert and send you an email regarding it . I insisted on paypal because i
don't have access to my bank account online as i don't have internet
banking, but i can pay from my paypal account, as i have my bank a/c
attached to it, i will need you to give me your paypal email address and the
price so i can make the payments asap for it and pls if you don't have
paypal account yet, it is very easy to set up, go to
http://www.paypal.com/us and get it set up, after you have set it up i will
only need the e-mail address you use for registration with paypal so as to
put the money through. I have a pick up agent that will come and pick it up
after i have made the payments...

Thanks
