This may even be a good deal, I'd sure like to know what it is he's selling though . . . :confused:

Mercury I/O Omni package

Omni? New engine? Rebuilt outdrive?

QC, you've never heard the Omni drive?
Came after the Alpha, and Bravo....
Merc wanted to build a compact, affordable economy drive, so it came out with the Horizon, and Omni drives... :D;)

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

I am guessing the cost is not really for the structure, but for the slip. I don't know Texas, but in NC slips can go upwards of 100K.

I've seen slips here go for $400 a month and that depends..on where and how big. There is nothing special about Lake Whitney to warrant that kind of cost. And that add was for a house boat not a slip, lol

Why $100k are you buying the slip for life?

Heck we have moorings at Catalina Island here that go for $250K. No slip, just a mooring, and I think it is a 100 year lease.

[h=2]BASS BOAT IN KIT FORM - $500 (Martinsburg WV):[/h] BUILD YOUR OWN BASS BOAT: Dynatrak EBBTIDE 160 BASS BOAT (SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED.) 16 fT. fiberglass boat has been completely disassembled for restoration. Included are the boat hull, all the hatch covers, mounting hardware (stainless steel screws), a hub for the steering wheel (no steering wheel included). and the trailer. The boat needs everything, starting with new carpet. This is a project for the serious craftsman. The trailer is beat up and has a badly bent fender, a loose winch, and is rusty in places. Tires will need to be replaced. The trailer does have new lights and wiring, and I towed the boat home from Richmond so I know it pulls OK. The hull of the boat is watertight and in perfect condition, structurally. There is one small soft spot on the floor in a location where it probably will never pose a problem. There is one place on the hull that has been hit (by a falling tree branch) and the fiberglass is damaged . . . it is almost unnoticeable and not a structural issue at all . . . I don't think it warrants concern, or necessarily needs to be repaired. A metal trim piece could be used to cover it and make the boat look snazzier. The point is, the boat is in excellent shape . . . but it is not perfect. It will be necessary to build a cover for the rod holder compartment (the original one is deteriorated, but is provided to use as a model.) Also included are a few through-hull fittings and a new drain plug assembly. Good titles for boat and trailer............
