Another trick is to post the same pic twice and then there's the subliminal message delivered by having an orange tomcat in the background.

What this idiot has is a bent aluminum (not stainless steel) trolling plate that sells for 55 bucks new. My ex neighbor bent mine when he didn't raise it up, and hit the throttle.

Hahahaha that orange tomcat is a trip!

P.S. at least move the motor after you paint it.

Some people believe because its old it's worth lots of $$$$$$. Nice looking boat, but worth about 1/3 of what he is asking

Cajun Bass Boat and 150 Horse Johnson - $750
I do not know the year or have a title to this boat. It was given to me by a Widow from my Church, she is looking for the paperwork. If she finds it I will forward the paper to you. It was her late Husbands boat. Boat has not been used since 2007. It was originally titled in New York state. The Motor looks to be in good shape. Comes with 2 Chrome Props. Everything is there and would be perfect for parts if you need them. The Motor alone should be worth twice what I am asking. The Props each are over $200 on Ebay. I agreed to take the boat for the trailer.

Really dude? One pic of one side, the gel coat is obviously heavily oxidized, no trailer, no title, being sold in TX and registered in NY,
Out of service for 7 years, the motor worth twice $750? yea if it runs great and with low hours.

He may as well give it away or donate it to charity to be raffled.

Yea this guys is a real tool. He wants to keep the trailer, and sell the boat an motor on something that was given to him. Why not, instead of paying to scrap the boat, offer a free boat and motor, and keep the trailer. PAY IT FORWARD BRO!!!!!!!

2002 9.9hp Tohatsu

This guy is a real jack ***. I mean the price is right but this is the part that irritates me.

The first owner had it on a crab boat and he had numerous motors in Norfolk. He had the lower end redone and I never had a problem with the motor except the clutch dog slipped once. The part is $55.

Yea, because the cost of the part located deep within the gearcase is all you'll have to pay to fix this issue.

9.9 johnson outboard motor

Not a fixer, but funny anyways. Very basic ad so I emailed him and asked 3 questions - age, if it was hi thrust, and asked for pics. His responses "tomant questions no sale" and "I will not sell to u". Hilarious how some sellers hope to sell something when 3 questions is too many? I wonder what he would do if a dozen people asked him for info... ha! :)

I emailed him this. "What year is the motor? Do you have any pictures you can send?

Thanks"

and got this "89 no"

He doesn't sound like a very good salesman.

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

looks like it doesn't even have a bottom--like a glass-bottom boat with a broken window!
