Re: Funny "TLC needed" boat ads on Craigslist.

I had read some of the insanity before, but somehow got pulled in & read 3 or 4 of the more interesting threads after Andy posted that suggestion...... Wow, made my brain hurt, but I couldn't stop reading thru them. It was like watching the worst train wreck EVER in slow motion & then having a " 'Groundhog Day' w/ Bill Murray"-like experience:facepalm: Had me really pulling for finishing the boat or getting a motor running.

Then it hit me: pix? & age:eek: I think mission accomplished lil' buddy, mission accomplished.

BTW, it isn't over, just on to other fleeting thoughts & big dreams. But it occasionally strikes others, me included.....

Fire sale...

No really, a fire, not just a good deal. Actually, probably more like whatever the opposite of good & deal are:facepalm:

An instant assortment of 35+ potentially scrap outboards with junk trailer included for the nominal fee of $3000.... Or you can pick 5 for $1,000!!!!

**Just moved my business, a whole pile of trade-ins, abandoned, maybe run, maybe don't, I can't remember them all. Package deal, I counted at least 35 engines, the whole pile including the trailer $3,000.00. Motors without trailer $2,500.00 Pick any 5 for $1,000.00 Will consider trades, no junk please, (I have had enough of the junk business,) Call Jack at 1 508 XXX XXXX. NO I will not go check and see if certain motors are there, or if they run. The only thing I will do is point to the pile and help you hook up the trailer. If you are interested, get off your butt and come look. Bring your own muscle and cash. Trailer not available separately unless someone has bought all the motors. (If I sell parts of the lot, I will make adjustments in the add.) Thanks for looking.**

Project boat. I have a 1988 Glastron 14ft speed boat for sale, comes complete with 70 hp mercury motor and trailer. Boat needs interior work new wood installed needs finishing and seats, the motor is not running it has low compression in one cylinder and probably needs the carbs clean, the trailer is galvanized and could use new tires but hold air. I have papers for both trailer and boat. great project boat it has a lot of potential. Call JOE 845-xxx-xxxx
