I'm tempted to call him and ask "WTF were you thinking when you built that thing?!?!"

You can see the canoe is not really homemade, the lines of canoe are still there. Looks like the owner had heavily modified the canoe and now realizes it is completely useless and totally unsafe to the point it probably floats beater upside down than right side up and what is that thing in the middle, a fire baffle?

I know where to begin. Someone needed a boat reso/mod intervention! That thing looks So Skechy. I personally like the 4 inch PVC sponsons attached to the sides. That will make her stable in the water.... NOT!!!:facepalm:

Yeah they have a yard full of hulls in various states of rot. They're real proud of them too! They actually have a Stratos just like ours minus the interior, the outdrive, the manifolds, any solid wood, but they do have the shifter lever I need. I can pick up the whole rotten mess for a measely $900 dollars.:facepalm:


(Edit) They've incresed the price on the Stratos and listed it as a "Mechanics Special" new price is $1250 dollars.:eek::faint2:

Seriously over priced!!!!
