And worse then the color palete is the low quality materials and poor workmanship... 2X4 back rests on an 8K boat? I dont think so Birdsong.

The guy definitely has a sense of humor describing it, except when it comes to the price....

Picture #13 sure looks like a skeg to me...oriented in the wrong direction. Which might just explain why it doesn't run right.

And only a couple soft spots in the floor, nothing to worry about for a couple years.

Reseal the lower unit, replace the impeller, clean the carb, and replace the starter motor - for an even $1000? And it still doesn't run well. Yipes. No wonder he wants to sell it.

They're selling a Boat, chicken, tractor, who knows what else, it should be reported as spam. I can't seem to do it....

Image 3... note the elaborate dock line stowage. No trailer title, but it has new lights - that's a relief. I guess he figured he'd better spruce things up for the impending sale. You couldn't pay me to hook up to the thing... a neglected boat is scrap, but a neglected trailer is a liability. Having the wheel come off and rolling into gawd knows what (like a playground) is a nightmare scenario.

This reminds me of the Bayliner Capri/Force outboard.


I'll contribute. I am really struck by how intricate this trailer design is for basic boat. At least the guy is straight about the situation.

Here's a sail boat with no mast, and a "75 HP" Honda outboard.

It looks like an old TeeNee trailer. Nice to have shock absorbers; but yeah, kind of elaborate for that little boat.

:lol: that's a Honda 7.5 horse kicker.

 

[gm280]

That is not a shallow water setup that's for sure.

first time I read that I did not catch it was 7.5. I thought wow 75 hp on a sail boat would be dangerous for sure.

 

[roffey]

to funny. the pics for the ad are a photo of a cell phone with the picture of the boat..... the boat and price seem reasonable but when you think about it, why not just load the original picture from the cell. I mean its the same process no matter where you get the picture from.

[GA_Boater]

^^^^ Kind of implies it isn't his boat to sell, doesn't it?

 

[Maclin]

Maybe they just found the phone...

 

[Powerstroke in a Prius]

Is that how that works? "I just met this guy that showed his boat to me while we were BSing at the coffee shop. I bet I can use that picture to scam somebody".

Or.... Maybe that second layer of screen/camera hides just how weathered the boat is - like when they gel the lens for aging female TV starts making commercials for AARP.

 

[gm280]

And even posting a few pictures of the cell phone with the pictures on that, they are still sideways instead of landscape so you can see it. Amazing!
