Okay, I'll bite.

Is it on the bottom of the bay or on the top of the water? Is the registration current?

I think you need to get us some pics. I'll check back later.

That's the guy you ask when you go to the department store, "where's the tool department?"

And "it could be used as parts". In other words, get it off my property and part it out before the cops find it.

Another wants someone to pay to haul their trash away. If he cannot find an idiot it will either rot farther where it sits and have trees growing out of it or pat $1000 to have it hauled to the landfill.

You guys can't be taking that one seriously. It's a sarcastic jab at the absurd ads by someone fed up with them.

Dang, not sure what to say about that one ^^^^^^^

I actually like it a lot, but it is overpriced by about double, and I think he has made mounting an OB impossible now? Am I missing something? I'll be there this weekend, I'd go look at it if I wasn't wasting his time.

I must admit, I went back and looked at it twice since finding it Sunday morning before posting it here....It is sorta cool. :facepalm:

I don't think mounting an OB would be a problem. It was originally built to be a camper boat. The last line in his ad said it was built by Ryan Camperboat Co in Long Beach CA. Judging by the design, it had to have had a platform of some sort behind it. I think he just replaced the original with a new one.

It still seems like there is no room to mount an OB. Old swimstep design may have allowed it, but I don't see it with the new one.
