It's a beaut......and what a steal! Might wanna bring a chainsaw, or at least a hedge trimmer to get it out!

Would make a great boat to hunt ducks from since it seems to already have some sort of wodland camo installed. Or maybe in a Biblical pagent if you need a basket to simulate Moses in the rushs.

I reckon it's a roof off a van or something. And the engine mentioned is from a car.

OMG this...this may trump every jury rigged innovation I've ever seen. I'm at a loss here. I...I....I can't explain what I'm thinking and keep it PG rated...

Wow....

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

Not only can this guy not spell, he doesn't know his inboard from outboard. Wonder what else he screwed up.

25' trojin cabin cruzier with a 318/ 235 hp outboard with a roomy cabin to sleep 4-5 adults with bath room with a little TLC it will be a great boat. Motor is locked up from not being winterizier.it needs someone that has the time to put in to it. we installed a hard top and tower with a spotting tower a few years ago we paid about 9000.00 for it. its in a slip and it can stay if you want cost is 1500 a year. I'm asking $2000.00 obo Call Matt 757-

I looked at the pictures. As expected, there is no outboard on the stern, so unless it's one of the secret tunnel drives....

Maybe he thought "cruzier" sounded French and exotic, although "trojin" I think is Chinese.

Not too good at math, either. Added a $9000 tower to a $2000 boat, and "4-5" adults ain't happening unless they are midgets or an orgy.


PS around here there are always cabin cruisers of this size for sale for next to nothing, or free.

Valvoline Motor??? 23"??? I take it their measuring the trailer and boat together? The V518C model is an 18' boat.

A valvoline motor means someone stuck a valvoline sticker on it sometime in the past. I guess I drive a Pennzoil since my last oil change; thought it was a Chevy.
With all of these, you have to ask: if he didn't know that, what else about fixing and maintaining didn't he know?

Smoke - that one is wordy compared to one I saw on CL. I memorized the ad.

Boat (this was the ad title)
xxx-xxx-xxxx (this was the ad text)

Just boat and a phone number. No pics, no description, no price. It disappeared after the 45 days, wonder why?

This is a good one. Indoor/outdoor motor? Better use an exhaust hose if you use it indoors.

The boat runs very well. It does need work on the floor there is a hole. I am willing to work out what we can.

I like how he makes it sound like the boat just needs a little TLC from not being winterized. He doesn't seem to understand the whole motor is completely shot and will need to be replaced.
