and another.... I may be wrong, seems a little steep


Antique Project Boat For Sale

Do the motor pics look like pics of old pics? I've seen coffer dams and coffer ceilings, but never a "coffer" prop. Maybe it is an antiquity needing preservation. I don't know why QC is being such a tightwad, it comes with electric wire too. :faint2::eek::facepalm::lol:

Is a coffer prop a COPPER prop? Really? :facepalm: :confused:

Hey kids, today on Sesame Street we'll learn new words that start w/ the sound BR _ _ _........

Add the end of a 7 letter word for donkey, less the jack, and there ya go: Coffer prop :rolleyes:

What is: Original with like a handle (tiller arm? maybe?)

Perhaps english is a 2nd language for the seller...

This one is actualyl quite a diamond in the rough. It is an old Carlson Challenger (or one of the several splashed makes) from the 1960s. Very good boats - kinda like the Corvette of the waterways back in the day. This one would be very worth saving! Wish I was closer...

Attention:

Those looking for a great boat haul...here ya go!


I have a Old Boat Haul. Looks pretty cool. Come see it and Make me a offer.

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

This thread cracks me up. It's totally what i've come across for the past 3-4 months while shopping for a boat. Take this one for example... only 5 minutes from my house: EBBTIDE 190 CATALINA CUDDY 19' 1989 & TRAILER

What they fail to state is that the boat has been sitting for over a year with a ripped cover, the interior is trashed - damaged from all the rain water (and snow) running in - the floors are soaked and spongy and the engine is partially dissembled. When it was parked in the backyard a couple of days after they bought it (because they didn't know the block was cracked when they bought it - so much water was coming in from the cracked block they almost sank it in lake michigan) they never stabilized the gas or even disconnected the battery. They thought they would be able to sell it right away... *rolls eyes*

good stuff.

If they pay you $1000 it would cover the landfill fee. Sell the trailer and there may be a few parts on the lower unit to bring a buck. After a lot of time and a lot of work you may net $200. Most people will pass unless they pay to have it hauled away.

Must have only wanted an extra 1 3/4" of height so mounted seats to a piece of 2X6. Surely they did not fall out of a rotten floor.
