I bought this boat to make a mold, but have no time. She is in rough shape, but she is all there. The man I bought it from would nail down sheets of plywood, and use the boat and had a ball. He last used her to sail with. Please do not ask me how, but the rudder goes with her. The trailer is tandem axle aluminum, with reasonable rubber. I am asking $4995. 727-347-5700 She is an original 24 T-Craft. You could nail down some more plywood, slap on a tillered outboard, and go crabbing or yachting, your pick

Location: St. Pete.

Question? is there a way to look up a specific brand of boat on craigslist that will do a global search. instead of having to click on each city an search?

Floating Sauna darkhouse - $975 (Grand Rapids)

Why? If I had to explain you wouldn't understand. I've built several of these but this is one has been the most fun. More fun than a well-oiled midget, (almost). Built on a 16 foot catamaran float. Lightweight, two guys can carry it. Holds four people inside, and two on deck. Would make a great swim raft as well. Removeable hatch for fishing. Works just like a darkhouse. Hmmmm. I've had a six horse outboard on it, but to be on the good side of the DNR, I just tow it with my boat instead. I've used it on the Miss. by Grand Rapids but as my sons have gotten busier we don't use it. Possible trade for 15 horse short shaft, 10 horse long shaft, or 16 foot fishing boat, or big aluminum boat like a Starcraft or Nordic. Also trade for snowplow to fit a 93 suburban, trade for a good 4x4 truck, a four wheeler, motorcycle, sailboat, or ?

Call or Text 218.259.5309

FYI: Stove and firewood included, speargun extra.

If you're a midget and offended, stop it. Lighten up. Pick up some more oil and call me. lol.

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

dont know whats worse here, that they have a 90hp on a 14 ft boat, or that they want 5 g's for a 30 year old boat??

http://burlington.craigslist.org/boa/1826145909.html

14 foot 1981 McKee craft boat with 2006 Johnson 90 horse engine and trailer.runs great.$5ooo.
A new 90HP outboard is about $5500 new. He might be asking a tad much depending on engine hours, but not altogether out of the ball park.

With older boats, you are _basically_ just buying the engine and instrumentation anyway. If the hull and transom are in good shape, it doesn't detract from the price.

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

Hi guys. I'm new here and looking for my first boat. I've learned more about boats and buying from this thread than all the other research I've done. :)

Good to know there are other CL junkies out there...

Funny, but I never thought of this as an instructive tread, but I guess it would be considering all of our comments about price, repairs, bad stuff, good stuff . . . cool!

maybe he didnt want to get into the stories of how the interior needs a Little TLC!!! ha ha ha

Not the first, and I'm sure it won't be the last advertised like that. I always think the same thing as you when I see ads like that. I guess the cover is a major component of the sale....

Has 125 hp force, rebuilt last year, the engine weighs as much as the boat itself, looks awkward but still rides flat in the water. this boat was my first and i truely enjoyed but its time for something bigger, need gone by the end of the week.
