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

Some people are dreaming, this is one of my fav posts.
The boat with the 9.9 reminded me,
There is a place here in BC that has great fishing but the ocean current runs real fast, if you go out you need a backup motor or ya could get sucked into a whirlpool.
The fishing guides have a 20 and a 9.9. what they do is run both engines, using the 20 to steer the boats are fast, I went out in one, caught some decent sized salmon!

Yeah I've seen the current at the North end of Whidbey Island from the bridge. Holy carp!!!!

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

So what's the deal with big boats having a 9.9 main hanging off the transom? Do people actually rig their boats like this so they can get a big boat onto an under 10HP lake, or is it just a guy throwing something onto the transom in hopes to sell it?

I posted one then another popped up, so it got me thinking....

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

Why do you need to rebuild the bottom end for a measly hole in the oil pan? Jeez, it's not worth $2500with an actual running Mercruiser or Volvo "motor" in it . . . You could read one page of Craig's list and figure out that you're asking too much. Flippin' imbeciles.

How small of a trailer do you think he will find for $5? I say a 2" hot wheels size one

For sale or possibly trade...
1984 19 ft 3.0 Merq cruiser.
Has a premium sound system..Blue LED's ran through the speakers.
Comes with trailer..the trailer and the tires are in good shape
I've had it out a couple of times so far this season runs great.
Great for fishing and tubing
There are 2 new caption chairs recently installed
All other space is wide open with new carpet and marine board.
Also comes with boat cover, anchor, and life vests

$2200 Looks like someones got a minivan minus the seats and probably the 6x9 speakers with blue led's thru them Looks comfy though

$2200 doesn't seem crazy to me. Clean, running, includes a trailer, a few new items... will agree though, blue lights in the speakers doesn't need to be mentioned.

in my neck of the woods, on a big lake, thats a good spare engine, although I am sure your points have merit, If my main engine failed, I think the 9.9hp would still be hella faster than rowing!

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

Ok so I just realized I have a sick addiction and this silly thread has given me an out let.

Here a thread I might write to drum up business after looking at all of these crazy CL ads

4 SELL***WIFE SAES BOAT OR ME MUST GO***Nice Cuddy Cabin live able.
24ft 1952 chris craft with universal diesel engine motor starts but runs ruff, ran great last time I had it out, just needs some gas adtive
I got many projects around the yard. I aint never met a bad deal. Wife is tired of all my projects, she tolt me I gotta get rid of some or she is gettin rid of me. I tolt her she could forget it. me in the boat r leafin. So I trailored the boat up to walmart and I was staying on it there for a couple days untill they noticed I hooked in to the electrical of a lamp post, and the holding tank busted letting black water all over the parking lot, a new tank can be installed for a bout $50. I would do it but I owe my cousin $1000 for bail for tresspassing, improper dumping of sewage, and domestic battery.
This boat is a true gem and will not last needs TLC and paint which you can get at homedepot or lowes for $20 a gallon, the trailer does not come with the boat as I had to borrow it from my other cousin who needs it for his commerical fishing boat, but could be purchased for 5000. The boat in perfect condition is worth about 25000 according to NADA, cents I tolt you whats wrong with itI am asking a 24450. i am nocking a a few hundred off for the trouble. More pictures availible upon request. MUST SELL BY THIS WEEKEND or I will be locked up.

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

Okay. This ad pops up locally every weeks or so.

http://kelowna.en.craigslist.ca/boa/1382307982.html

I've chuckled at it a few times, mostly because of how often the same ad gets refreshed.

While it seems others have chuckled as well.

http://kelowna.en.craigslist.ca/boa/1382553724.html

there comes a time where you either have to put motor in it or sell it cheaper, everybodys getting sick of seeing this add. re-posted over and over. maybe post it in the free section.

Then http://kelowna.en.craigslist.ca/boa/1382585411.html

Well I disagree, as he started out selling for $5500.00 then $6500., now $7500.00. Obiously this is an asset that appreciates in value, not like other boats. This guy's glass is not half full it's overflowing!!! But it's full of ??????

Then http://kelowna.en.craigslist.ca/boa/1382729133.html

this boat is a liability not an ASSET.

(Okay, this one isn't funny)

and finally http://kelowna.en.craigslist.ca/boa/1382744631.html

i want to buy an old broken boat with very small motor, to take my family out on the water and get stuck and end up beached on some rocks. preferably drain my bank account on a sea ray, then my family and myself can live on the beach with a broken boat and no food. i am so excited.does anyone know where i can find such boat? you can e mail me a stoopidiot@shaw.ca thanks

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

You can get a great deal on Craigs list,if you keep your eyes open.
What has always amazed me is some pictures that are posted,with leaves and all kind of junk on the boat.
If they are that careless about the picture,they were probably the same with the boat.

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

I guess I got Lucky!? Just bought a 1984 4 Winns 170 Marquies Merc 140 3.0, new carpet, new interior, new Bimini top, new seats, hull/floor in nice shape, perfect trailer with spare, outdrive in good shape for $800.00. It did have water in the oil (seller stated) turns out to be cracked block and cracked manifold. Located a standard bore block in AZ (no rust) for $500.00 including freight. I consider this a GREAT deal as I need a winter project and will be hittin the lake next summer with a completely rebuilt 3.0 that will run all day on 20 gallons of gas, my Sea Ray burns about 60 Gallons a day... But don't get me wrong, I did spend alot of time looking at junk and was about to give up when I found this one...

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

Swapping parts from 1 block to the other can be a real pain. I would not get one shipped unless it was the exact match with your block. All kinds of things won't match up if it's not.
