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

Well I guess technically this is a TLC listing.....just not the normal type of TLC.

1987 Bayliner 2550 Cierra

"Really need the cash. My lovely wife wants a boob job. There is a $5280.00 special going on until the end of the month. Bring $5500.00 Cash and the boat is yours. "

:laugh:Not many boats increase in value.

I actually kinda like the steering, but this is comical:

"Enjoy, boating, fishing, skiing, as the boat increases in value."

Boat is $5500

The 'job' is on sale $5280 :watermelon:

Personally, if so inclined, I don't think the Admiral would appreciate price shopping for a discount provider :rolleyes:

Nor would I be willing to trust a cut rate provider. Of the many things in life you want right, they're a pair pretty high on the list...

Wow....Just wow.....:eek::eek::eek:

15ft (junker) tri hull mfg gypsy with (crap) 85hp force

"I have here a gypsy boat.. thats is name.. gypsy boat. I got drunk and shot a bunch of holes in the hull so it dont float no more. Engine is shot I beached it awhile ago and not only that i ran diesel fuel in it because I thought it would get better mpg.. the rear tandom is ripped right off but i got it on there with bungy starps and duck tape so it still works. but im sure if ur good with wrenches u can fix er up good. im good with bondo and cars so the holes in the boat im sure can be mudded shut with some stuff. Oh and the trailer is twisted i ran over a dock with it. Otherwise its a very good boat. Lots of life in er yet. I know its a fixer uper but its worth the cash moneys. No tire kickers or low ballers need relpy. Only serious cash holding people call 715 495 2040 to buy it 6000 obo its a steal at that. Thanks. "

That's gotta be someone here on iBoats trying to make it into this thread. If that one is real then you have found the end all and be all of "TLC needed" boat ads. $6000 for that!? I paid $5000 for a ready to run '95 Cobalt!

But you over paid, esp since you didn't get any bullets, bullet holes or spent casings :rolleyes:

I particularly like the sellers brutal honesty (paraphrased): Bullet holes are all easily fixed, I know, I'm a bondo specialist.......

Then why the flip didn't you fix the holes after you got drunk & shot the hull full of lead?

Where's Bill Engvale w/ 1 of his dumb@$$ signs?

A 1st mate on my charter boat had a Penn Yan from the late 70s or early 80s and that sure looks similar.

I think you missed the satirical nature of the ad.
