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

I think this guy added an extra "0" on the end of his price. At $7500 for a 27 year old runabout you would think they would spend the $100 on fixing the rear deck and clean the thing. For some reason people out here in my county seem to thing any old piece of junk is gold. I would have a hard time offering $750 for it.

1987 four winns with a v6 inboard outboard. The inside is dirty from sitting under the cover. It is sound and sturdy. The only thing wrong with boat is the back hatch needs to be replaced. It will cost around 100 bucks for the wood. If interested or have any questions call 913 306 4291

Talk about turning junk into gold: $75 for a used 6 gallons gas tank that sell new for $35!

Now I know why peeps leave their boats uncovered. Look at how the cover caused this boat to turn into an over priced pile of dog "stuff". :facepalm:

Ridiculous counts, correct?
One of a Kind 1975 Donzi 18 Classic

classic but it was fully restored in 2011. I spared no expenses when restoring this boat I probably put about 13000 to 15000 dollars into and it looks brand new. Alone, my paint job was 4000 dollars. It has a 2001 Mercury 250 HP engine which is in near perfect condition. The engine has a chopper prop which I paid 1000 dollars for. It is 100% Custom from the rims which I had made for the trailer to the decals on the engine. The reason I am selling it is because I sold my house on the water and bought one in the keys and the water is just so shallow where my house is that I need something with a flat bottom.

- 2001 250HP Mercury Outboard
- 100% Custom
- Super Fast
- Restored in 2011
- Trim Tabs
- Chopper Propeller
- Beautiful Paint Job

Donald, $10K, really? Jeez $4K for PAINT? I believe there are paints & paint jobs that might be that expensive, but, jeez....

Significantly outside my hp needs, but what's a good running 13yr old Merc 250 in great shape? Enough to support the most of the asking price?

While I agree he's over-priced.

I have no doubt he's into it for what he claims, it's just to unique for the masses of boat owners...I bet that boat would be a fast, fun little hang on to my beer kinda ride...throw a 32P prop and hit 100mph pretty easy; however, squirrely!

Already knocked the price down 1k, could be the fog in his head is starting to clear?

That is the worst $4K paint job I've ever seen. It is all orange peel! And those custom wheels he had made. I better sell the ones on my truck, which are identical except I have black where he has blue. WIMUSKY has the same wheels on his rod. And we both have all the wheel studs, unlike this guy. The seller must be related to the Christmas Goose. :facepalm:

He may also be related to this seller - Aristocraft 19 classic showboat

So this one is probably priced right but if you have a picture on the screen why not just copy it instead of taking a picture of it and posting that?

Ad now lists an asking price of $6500. Heading in the right direction, but a LONG way to go.

You can see from the pictures that the cover failed. That is mold from the trapped moisture. A little bleach and water and that interior would actually look pretty good. The only cracks/tears I see are on the rear sun pad. Why do people ask so much money and then they don't even bother with the slightest bit of effort. In this case 30 minutes of cleaning would easily make a $1000 difference in perceived value.

Not boat related, but I got a kick out of it.

tires!!! falken tires tires!!! 89% treat left 245/50&225/50 R16

tires!!! falken tires tires!!! 89% treat left 245/50&225/50 R16

1) How do you measure 89% of tread?
2) That is a real treat

If only because of the search tags & keywords listed at the bottom of the ad, that ^^^ needs to be reported as spam :D

those tires definitely have the best looking 89% treat I've ever seen :eek:
