Agreed.

There is a Neptune listed at Fiberglassics, but it's a utility & only 1 year shown: 1957. Plus it's glass not tin....

Smart phones are dumb'ing us down :redface: Guilty, even in my forum posts, and Firefox highlights misspelled words :facepalm:

I can't remember the last time I remembered someone's phone # before I dialed it 1000+ times....

If the Admiral's wasn't 2 digits away from my cell#, I wouldn't remember her's beyond that she's 'press & hold #7' to dial :(

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

I was cautioned about posting a link to my add so, I'll describe the boat hear & you guys come up with some creative adds! As far as the acual CL add I'll just try to be as truthful as possible. It will be on the Monterey Bay area CL if you want to check out the real add.

The boat is a 60's vintage 12' Mirro Craft riveted aluminum, Is painted but paint job is toast. Has late 60's Mercury model 110 9.8hp. The motor has a rebuilt lower unit & water pump; (replaced 2 years ago) All the wiring on the motor has been replaced. It has a 18lb thrust Motor Guide trolling motor, marine stereo (defiantly not top of the line!). Comes with old rusty but safe & serviceable trailer.

Again this is just for laughs. ;-)

Let's hearm' guys.

Well you need to price it at about three times the current worth. You have the misspelled words covered. Maybe add short, fat and ugly and don't tell them the beam or capacity.

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

Ford must have struck a deal with Volvo back in the 80's that I didn't know about.

This Baysinker special comes with a Pinto outdrive!

SELL OR TRADE.... LETS DEAL

I HAVE A BAYLINER BOAT WITH SHORLANDER TRAILER... TRAILER GOOD ... BOAT NEEDS INTERIOR... ITS GOT A VOLVO ENGINE 4CYL AN VOLVO PINTO 270 OUTDRIVE RUNS GOOD... I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS ANYMORE....EITHER FIX IT UP OR GOOD PARTS OR JUST USE PARTS AN OR TRAILER... ASKIN 450.00 OBO

Gee...why didn't he add that the trailer alone is worth the asking price?
