It's one of those "tri haul" boats as well. Why is the word "hull" so hard for some people. I don't think a lot of people don't know what a "hull" is.

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

This one is from kijijiijiiji - hope that's OK? It only needs "tlc and cleaning", lol.
Motor Boat for Sale | powerboats, motorboats | Calgary | Kijiji

Comes with all the mod-cons: A loud-hailer mounted on the deck, a spare trailer tire, drum&clothesline steering a Sea-lectric shift outboard (that may or may not "sea-lect"). What's really funny- I may end up with this boat. I phoned the guy, not about the boat, but about the 1932 Chev 2 door in the background. We're negotiating on the car, and I told him if we can come to a reasonable agreement, I'll haul the boat away at the same time.

That one is a HYDROELECTRIC shift, and beleive it or not is a phenominal engine. I ran the dog snot out of one for three years and she never missed a beat. Parts are not as rare as everyone beleives as there were so many of them manufactured. I wouldn't scrap her I would put some OMC type c lube in her and run the crap out of her it is about $1500 USD over priced though.

The boat is a Hourston Glascraft made in North Vancouver BC, not a Glastron as the ad states. It is identical to my first boat, and they have an excellent reputation in these parts. He is however about $1500 overpriced as that boat would go for about $1000 around here.

Put a roll bar that was in a post here earlier on it. Then you are good to go.

Honestly, I am more concerned with the safety of other boaters when I see a setup like that. There are not many bodies of water small enough to have predictably calm water where you can open that thing up yet large enough to run 70+ (??) MPH and not be a danger to other boats.

At least the traditional go fast boats have long, deep hulls allowing them to handle some chop at speed.

I guess the pro bass boats are a danger to us all based on this definition, lol.
