Motor "won't turn over", maybe because it's seized? How in the heck would he know it just needs a carb gasket if he can't even get it to turn over? At least he didn't sink a lot of money into the upholstery or floor.

Yeah, that upholstery job is horrible.

Guess I am just wired differently. I dont understand how people let potentially valuable possessions just rot in the yard. If you are not going to use it, sell it. Seems after a year or two it would be obvious. At least cover the boat so it doesn't become a planter. Oh well, that is why Ill be polishing mine up for the holiday weekend... and enjoying a chuckle about people wanting $$ to haul away their junk.

All this could be yours for 1500 bucks!

Sure is an "interesting" look. Asking price up or down, it would still just be a tiny drop in the bucket of what it would cost to make that wreck seaworthy again.

It was a great boat until Gilligan and Skipper took it out for that three-hour tour. :D:D:D

That's exactly what I was thinking as well. Sure looks like Gilligan's Island's boat... :noidea:
