this one is a great deal until you get to the last three words

1986 18ft SPORTSCRAFT w/ 140 Horsepower - MERCRUISER inboard/outboard motor.
This is a very, Very Nice boat. It has all new fiberglass flooring with water-proof carpet and trim, All Brand New.
...and with it comes everything you need to be ready for the water; vest and all the bells & whistles for coast guard.

We had a blast last year tubing, fishing and just enjoying rides.
We got relocated so have 2 move fast..!

Trailer is $1k by itself, INCLUDED & also updated w/ Brand New mechanisms.

Needs a new battery and some engine work. Engine is locked.
$700 obo ask 4 JOE @ 757-328-3178

That is the perfect boat to restore. A classic and great potential. Im talking about the tinny with a cabin for 700 bucks,
