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

[h=2]FREE BOAT RIDES / FISHING TRIP FOR HELPING US WORK ON OUR BOAT... (LAKE COUNTY)[/h]
You know what's better than owning a boat? Having a friend with a boat. That is just what can happen because I own a 26 ft. boat that is nearly completed. Things that need done still are engine finished up. I have a couple wires left and one exhaust pipe we can't get into position. This boat has a lot of systems on it and I would like to find a friend who knows how some of these systems work. Every system is hooked up, I'm just not sure how to operate this boat. This is my first boat.

If you are not mechanically inclined I'm sure there is still something you can work on... We are nearly ready to go so call or text anytime at (44O) 571-XXXX. Texting is best. And waxing needs done (but my friends and sister are supposed to help with that) This is a large boat valued at over $8,000. It's not easy nor cheap to maintain. If you really want to use the boat a lot (as in your want your own set of keys) I would consider going half on this boat with someone. But if you just want to help out and go out a couple times that would be great too. Thank You, Chris

Does his friend & sister know they are being pimped for wax on ~ wax off duty

Hey, Chris, lets go out on the boat I helped you with.

Sorry, Dummy. I'm working

Well let me borrow the keys then.

Sorry Dummy. My insurance says only I can run the boat.

Well, what am I getting for helping you get your $8000 boat running and back on the water?

Well Dummy, a warm fuzzy feeling?

Somehow I just see this working out. :facepalm:

^^ yep, I like how the seller puts it right there in his ad:

Maybe I can work my arse off getting HIS boat water ready, and sit on it, on the trailer, making motorboat sounds, and drinking the warm beer he'd provide:

I guess I could bring my own..... And the cooler & the ice....

BTW: Best use of recycled plastic I've seen in years ^^^ :watermelon:

JB - That pic may be bordering on the risque. #3 from the right.

I never used to like Keystone Light. :joyous:

I tried to find a higher resolution copy online that would confirm tights or not. But unfortunately I was unable to find one.:facepalm:

But I did find a pair of very interesting coors light girls.

I have to admit, I was specifically looking for the hidden "cracked block" text when I scanned it. :eek:

Move the decimal point 2 places. At $62 I'll take if the trailer is included.
