Outboard Motor Flusher - NEW (Norfolk)

new never used
Tempo Motor Flusher - Universal "Ears"
$18.00 cash or best offer
Norfolk

Outboard Motor Flusher - NEW

This ad pops up every few weeks--with two pictures of the item. it often provokes comments about how much less you can buy new ones for in stores. And why would anyone bother to sell something--anything--for less than $20 and have to mess with the callers, no-shows, etc.? Who would bother to find someone's house for a $18 anything? I suspect it's a secret code that something else is going on....

And it's not necessary for you all to post where you can get it cheaper either!

Parked in front of the "It'll Do" strip joint. And I love the window unit stuffed up in the bow and I presume into the anchor locker?

Or "used as a boat until 2010 and as a compost pile until now." After all, what can happen to a boat and motor just sitting for four years?

If he's really clever he removed the cover to the anchor locker and replaced it with a vent, such as an oven rack or storm drain cut to order, and the A/C unit drains into the fresh water holding tank--don't want to waste water!

Got to love this one, I like how he states that "You can tell he has used it every day this week". I must have missed that class in college, "Psychic Boat Reading 101". However I did notice the spray painted piece around the outside of the transom.

The transom appears to be reinforced, most likely rotted

Not a TLC add but worth a look. My favorite part is "Appraiced at $13500 without paint".

Or do you pass him the money for the boat during a hand shake?
