I probably never made it out to Douglas lake between Dec & March growing up. Every summer though, yep, 2wks solid. Saw my 1st alligator gar & pizza pan sized snapping turtles there. Good times....

Power usage is up a tick or thousand since the early to mid 70's, ESP in the counties outside of Knoxville.

Yeah I caught one of those huge freaking Snappers on my Catfish rod once I caught him once and then caught the same freaking turtle two hours later on the same rod. Swore if I caught him a 3rd time it was gonna be turtle soup we have a camper out on Douglas basically live there during the summer out on Terri Point.





I have no clue what in the carp could do that to a boat upholstery it looks torn up not just rotten from neglect. I know my Tinny had sat in a field for 6 years before I drug her home and it didn't look remotely that bad.

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

This boat has been on Cl for over a year, it gets posted almost daily. It's "For Sale" at a car dealership in Pueblo...I'm guessing it's over priced? I will give the guy credit, he's consistent!

Here's the boat...doesn't look too bad?! 1998 Donzi ZX 25 Cuddy w/ 454 V8

While Donzi's are top on quality, I personally think that boat is ugly, the colors do nothing for me, and I sure wouldn't pay that kinda $$ for a 15 year old one.

There is a guy here that has a 1997 Formula 252 with same engine that has been doing similar for about 5 years now. His original asking price was $42000. He has lowed it to $39900. :rolleyes: The book value is about $13000 with trailer. I know book value can be a little off but not that off. There was another Formula 252 with 502 EFI with an asking price of $15000 and even it took awhile to sell.

The dealer probably got smoked on a trade in for a 10 year old Civic. Boat LOOKS clean. Contingent offer around $8500...

That is one scary ad.

I love how the trailer isn't his but he can sell it, lets just go buy a stolen trailer.

Craigslist ad.

For sale 1981 Johnson 115 outboard motor.


This motor has been thoroughly gone through and the following has been done.

Compression check complete range from 119 to 125 psi on all 4 cylinders

Passes spark test with a fat blue spark jumping a 1/2 inch gap on spark tester.

New omc/brp fuel pump.
fresh carb rebuild on upper and lower carbs.
New stator
New timer base
2 brand new power packs
New water pump
New gear oil.
New power tilt and trim fluid

The negatives the paint is a little faded

It has a busted composite prop. I will throw in a decent aluminum one anyways.

The best news is the motor is pulled and properly derigged and on a stand there is no rotten fiberglass boat or trailer with dryrotted tires and seized bearings to worry about.

Under powered 17' tri hull,

I especially love the OSB seating and untreated bare plywood floor in a fiberglass boat.

All for the measly price of $700 to much

I have no idea why you would even waste your time crafting ANYTHING that would be outside outta OSB.

OSB assures rebuilding annually, more often if left uncovered in the rain. After 10 or 15 years he may figure it out,,, maybe not.

1987 bayliner

Good thing they covered up the precious force and neglected the rest of the boat. Is that rubber squares or carpet tiles for a floor?
