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

This one makes you cringe. This guy dumped over $17k into an '82 Wellcraft within the past few years. Now, he is trying to sell it for $6,500. It's been listed for a while. Not sure how much money he's going to lose. http://rochester.craigslist.org/boa/2452845601.html

I guess by the time he got finished typing,he was so pissed off, he added a few hundred to asking price 7,200 at top is 6,500.

More like weeping. If I dumped $17k into a boat I couldn't sell for $6,500 I'd be a mess.

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

I'm looking for my first boat. This one's in my price range but definitely staying far away! Blown motor and soft floors are more than TLC to me...

This is a good boat for the money , Needs a lil TLC and it be good as new...Has a Eagle depth/fish finder...
The floor is soft in back seat area and needs replaced , bout 3 ft from back is all , basically around the engine compartment area . the rest is in good shape.
New impeller & flex plate put on since last year. Has a 4.3L engine that needs rebuilt / replaced , took it out last weekend and was running great then it spun a rod bearing...Not sure of the internal damage but i think it just needs the lower end rebuilt...Had it listed for 3500 but taking 1000 less because of the engine being blown...
Possible trade for bike / vehicle

They really knew how to build them back them, maybe it has 3 times the power. :eek:

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

Why is it that guys like the one above can advertise that $500.00 hull for $5K, and I can't seem to get anyone interested in a $8k boat for $800? (not that I have one, but just saying)
