Skeeter boat with Trailer, No Motor - $750 (Monroe)
Date: 2010-02-15, 7:35AM CST


SKEETER BOAT, for fish and ski, Original Factory Trailer. NO MOTOR or Motor Controls. Sold motor with controls. Had a 115 Hp Mariner engine on it before sold.

FIRM PRICE. WHAT CAN YOU BUY FOR THAT PRICE?????
Boat or trailer is $400 each if sold seperately. Combined the price is $750



It has rod box and live wells. Seats are in pretty good condition. Has 2 seats that sit on the pedistals for fishing. Trailer is a good trailer with good tires but could stand to be repainted.
Has 40# thrust trolling motor and fish finder. Stainless steel plate on transom and stainless steel gas tank that is large. Carpet is good.

. It is about 16' long. If you dont like it that is fine but dont come here tearing it down. It is not a new boat and it isnt $10,000 either. You can go buy one of those ugly old aluminum boat.

My God, isnt there guys that can refurbish things anymore? I dont like to spend thousands when i can save that and do some work myself to make my item look good. I do it everyday. I rebuild old cars. If i believed things that were older was no good then i wouldnt be able to buy anything. I am not rich or young anymore.
There is also people out there that want to buy something for low price and have it look like new. GET REAL FOLKS, Welcome to the real world.



Remember no motor,. Only boat and trailer.

This boat was purchased 02/18/10 from Craigs list and it's to big, land lord want to much to store it so I'm selling for what I paid for $2200.00 which was a good deal. It's a 22" Larson Delta Sonic with a 3 year old Merc engine and 9 months on rebuilt outdrive, risers and bellows are resent as is the 4bbl carb. trailer is in good condition too. The boat has great potential it's in need of a good weekend giving it some TLC. Price is what I paid $2200.00 firm.

In other words... "I had no idea what I was buying. When I got it home my knowledgeable friend came over, looked at it and said, "dude, run away...." :)

When you email that person you will get a song and dance about "wire me the money now and I will ship you the car later." Happens all the time. I jerked one of those people around for days with a 2008 bass boat for about $4,000. Total scam. I had fun, though, telling the person that I knew all along and was just pullin their chain for a change.

Nothing like a guy asking way to much for his boat and then also insulting people looking to pay a realistic amount.

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

Craig's List Irony:

You are telling me not to bother you and not offer something less than the ridiculous asking price, but you were too cheap to spend 50 bucks on a basic tarp or a couple of hundred on an actual cover?

Yeah... well, I feel like slapping a lot of owners who list their valuable, easy-project boats but the effort to cover it was so freaking enormous they couldn't be bothered.

Oh, THIS is an easy project? Redo the entire interior and god knows what else... just a quick fix! But covering the boat must have been a massive undertaking, requiring years of effort and at least 10 grand... right?

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

This probably doesn't belong in this thread as it is not some delusional rip off but I thought it was a cool find, and utterly useless to 99.9% of all boaters. If you are the other .1% this is a gold mine

Translation:

Utility Vehicle like this
Utility-Vehicle-3.jpg


Has as full enclosure (wrap around canvas and plastic windows with real front windshield).

Year 2000 winch. Has a dump bed (it raises up like a dump truck) OR it can be fitted with two additional seats instead of the dump bed.

It has nice wheels and tires.

He/She would like to trade it for duck hunting / fishing boat... or they would like to trade for a pontoon boat.

Let them know what you have to trade.

This guy feels the need to add "I am a hobbyist mechanic with over 25 years of automotive and marine restoration experience and have bought, fixed and sold over a dozen boats over the past 15 years or so." Yet he hasn't started the motor or cleaned the boat?

Nice boat but not for $9,000, and not running on top of that.
