^^^ At least the listing is accurate, seller's not trying to hide with the pictures and the write up.

Might actually be worth $200 if the brick is included.

I didn't know any States issued titles that expired...

"I currently have the title documents, however they have expired..."

:confused:

I don't even see any good parts there, trailer looks like garbage also...

However, I see a honda outboard in the background... :D

Probably one of the best deals on CL! Papers in order, only 2 bolts needed to put her on the water! CL has much worse at 15X the ask of this one!

14 foot Starcraft Skylark and trailer - $75 (Warrenton, VA)

3K73Mb3L95L25He5J2d4kcf5789e3b7941d5d.jpg


This is a Sunfish - type sailboat that is tons of fun. Sailed it for many years but moving and need to sell. Includes mast and boom but sorry, the sails were accidentally thrown out, but this is a steal for the price.

The trailer is in decent shape, but has not seen the road in a few years. I would be prepared to grease/replace the bearings.

Includes a brand new tire and rim!

This is a fun boat that needs a little TLC but could be ready to sail in no time.

Note: The pic of the boat in the water is not recent.

Is that a sock in the carb? $8500 for a 1974 campbell day cruzer (his spelling)?
day cruzer campbell 24ft.

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

This one is close.... only priced $75 too high. It looks more like the trailer has not seen a road in a few decades
