Never heard of dry rot in the floor boards.

I'm a big fan of this thread and I've always wanted to contribute. Well today I had my chance. Saw this on CL just clicking through ads out of curiosity:

1984 Sea Ray-Mechanic's Special - $2000 (lake county)


$2000! I got a boat in that condition already... it was free!

The windshield doesn't line up, the driver's seat is clearly sinking on one side, and the ad even states that there are floor issues. Engine blown from overheating "some years ago", outdrive held up by a rope. Interior cracked and faded.

$2000, plus another $3000+ just to get it back to decent shape. No thanks.


"1984 Sea Ray with GM V8 and a Mercruiser Alpha 1. Open bow, seats 8. Some dry rot in the floor boards. Engine needs some work. Not running well, overheated some years ago and has been sitting for a couple years. Mechanics special. Call Ryan at 707-489-4532 or email. Boat located at Braito's Marina in Kelseyville. Won't last long!"

HURRY! Come pay me $100 to haul away my trash. This is a great deal...you could triple your money! :facepalm:

Boat shell for sale! Need gone asap!

I have a boat that his a haul. It has a motor but i'm not sure if it works. ITS FIBERGLASS! It will need a new window. I need this gone asap. You could fix it up and it would be a nice little fishing boat or you could sell it and get triple what i'm wanting. YOU HAUL AWAY! SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY! I'm asking 100 OBO. I would also consider trades. What I would trade for is a unlocked or cincinnati bell android phone. I might entertain other trades just tell me what you have the worst i can say is no lol. If intersted text or call

No need to ask for pics for that $35k boat, he already said it's blue and white, that's enough!

In total fairness, all those Sea Rays of that vintage look A LOT alike. (Can't hardly tell a 245 from a 270 from a 268 from a 280...) And they were either blue and white, green and white, or red and white! ;)

So, it mean he could easily sell it for $300 but, as he's a good guy, he let it go for $100. It's too kind! :facepalm:

OBO - OK, seller. Pay me $100 to haul your trash to the dump. Good thing it's not a tri-haul, that means three trips to the dump. :eek:

1986 Nitro boat and trailer

---------------------------------------------
I have a 1986 nitro. It is 16ft. 150hp mercury with whale tail. Comes with the trailer. I have not used it in three years and it needs to go. It needs the interior redone thanks to a german short hair I once had. All three carbs have been rebuilt 4 years ago. I had a brand new lower unit put on it 3yrs ago and has about 10 min on the lower unit. The trolling motor is brand new and has never been in the water. $2000 without the trolling motor or $2300 with the trolling motor. Firm
No money orders.
If you can buy the money order than you can put the cash in the hand.

316 990 3973 Donnie.
---------------------------------------------------

Carbs rebuilt ONLY 4 years ago, it must be good to go! lol

I hate when my dog leaves my boat outside uncovered for a decade when he's done using it.

It's really sad when the dog gets blamed for the owner's negligence. Hope Fido takes a chunk out of his butt.

Good catch on the Bimini. I missed it. I don't think that Bimini has ever been on that boat. In fact I don't think the top was designed for that frame :facepalm:
