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

I don't know about the rest of you, but I think it's just about the stupidest thing to advertise a boat without posting a picture with it.... surely a waste of my time even to read the ad. I wouldn't drive around the block to look at a boat that didn't have a picture. It's MOST LIKELY a POS.

Some TLC needed, 1959 USA brand boat for sale, 639 ft long, she has plenty of power to pull about 600 wakeboard riders or skiers, in great condition, comes with 800 slightly used lifejackets, includes 6 anti-sea-doo cannons, 4 anti submarine barrel launchers, ship to shore radio, electronics was upgraded last year with GPS and high speed satellite internet. Includes a 50cal machine gun in case a fisherman took over your berth, you can scare them away before they hook you. also includes (4) 60 ton anchors, and an anti-"Hallet on the rocks" Radar system

Cuddy sleeps 750, galley has room for 200 at a time, new engines back in 1978, they only have 765,754 hours each on em, so they are just getting broken in, runs on fuel oil but can be easily converted for like $15 to run on surface oil skimmed off the Gulf or french fry grease (it's green certified). The built in generator stopped working last season, my husband said it only needs a $6 part and is an easy fix....
Paint is a little faded (grayish color) needs a good buffing to be cherry again....(couple hours of work is all) some TLC needed to be mint, these babys blue book out for like 2 Billion in new cond...

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

I don't have any specific ad in mind, but I've seen several ads lately with pictures showing a boat covered almost completely with a tarp or fitted boat cover. Nothing showing the boat uncovered. I guess I'm supposed to use my X ray vision or ESP to envision what the boat looks like without the covering.

Naw, the boat cover is there to show you that they take good care of it!

Look close at the transom on that thing, it's got a couple of external layers of wood or metal on it. No doubt the transom is just fine now!

Some newbie will buy that, hang a motor, and if he's lucky figure out how bad off that thing is and either fix it, or again pass it on the same way.

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

Okay, so no TLC needed on this one. It is brand new, ready to go, and easy to see if there is any water "on board." nyuk, nyuk. Not trying to make fun of the kids, though- looks like they had fun! (just never seen anything like that)


7ft x 4ft boat, kids summer project, floats great $65 or best offer see pictures.

Holly crap! I am going to put mine up for sale. The interior is 1/3 done and it has a motor so I should be able to get 5K out of it based on this. Any Takers?

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

This one isn't quite as bad as some of the others here but I thought that $400 for a basically a bare hull was a bit high, no motor, no seats, no trailer for a 45 year old hull?

14' MFG fiberglass boat - $400 (Vineland, 08360)
Date: 2010-07-16, 8:34PM EDT
Reply to: see below

For Sale, 1963 MFG Niagara V hull fiberglass boat. $400 firm.
Title in hand, boat was last used in 2008. It's rated at 50hp max but I'd suppose a 25 hp or so would move it along quite nicely.
The boat is light, uses a long shaft motor and best of all, being an early MFG hull, there's no wood decks or stringers to worry about.
The hull on this is in great shape, no patches, no paint, all original. It was bottom painted when I got it, but most of that has washed away now and it doesn't appear to have been sanded either. Boat had a new helm and steering cable in 2008 and was freshwater run after that. These are very unique hulls modeled after the vintage Lyman wood boats of the 50's. Good ones like this are few and far between. I had planned to use this myself but found a slightly larger MFG just after buying this one.
No motor, no trailer. (Trailer under boat now is borrowed).
I have an old trailer that I'll sell for $100 cash if you need something to get it home with.
