Lol too bad I don't live on a lake. Not sure if he still has it, I saw it yesterday as soon as it came out but the site was down for maintenance so I couldn't post it here to see if it was worth it. Now I don't got time to go see it. Might have been worth reselling.

almost looks like the trailer was parked in the pot plant field!!....maybe if he waited another month, he could have been even more vague!!

Yea the tires hold air. But only in the top of the tires, not the flat bottoms. It amazes me what folks try to sell and how they don't even take the time to pull it out and clean it up a little. Heck for all anybody knows, it may not even be his trailer. I mean no title says a lot. :noidea:

[FONT=&quot]best motor gets A5 star rating and one of the most quietest running Motors that there is super dependable and if you're smart you were going to get better gas mileage anyway the only problem with the other cabin cruisers that's bigger than this one is there a way a lot and they have 350 than the most of them suck gas and cost a fortune to fix and has Bellows on the inboard models and they will sink easy with a hole in that so this is an ideal boat you can't beat it very easy to install a little 5000 BTU window unit not freeze the cabin the TV in pick has a mount own back of it and hangs up in cabin I just keep it out of the cabin because of moisture and stuff like that but the TV works great with remote and it's DVD is brand new just put a new fuel pump yesterday and just rebuild the carburetor might trade it for a nice truck or conversion van[/FONT]

Hey look I built a barn on my boat!

But it's super light!

With a diamond plated transom!


Really!

So the guy want to get rid of both an old travel trailer home and an old boat as well. So he put them both together. And the workmanship is...well...something to see. Yea that is a good sentence to describe it. What some people think are gold mines, certainly are not.

I do wonder, if he gets stone drunk on that...well...whatever you call it, is he guilty of boating while intoxicated or simply drunk at home? :noidea:

Now know I should visit this thread more often..................Or should I?

I wonder if the barn has ever been on the water. But he's a boat mechanic!

Had it out on the water twice, now he realizes how bad the design really is. Sitting in that contraption watching TV must've been really painful.

I've got words...Insanity. Ludicrous. Anyone that knows one lick about boats isn't going to pay that man his money. I've never seen a 9.8 Nissan worth as much as he seems to think it is. If the boat can handle 140 hp, and you only have a 7.5 hp motor on it, why did you feel the need to reinforce the transom with heavy diamond plate that does nothing to increase the strength of the boat....I'd be willing to bet this man has a pet alligator somewhere.

I am dumber for having been here on page 193. Thanks, mini-house boat ad with the Nissan 9.8 horse 4 stroke and burgundy curtain tie-backs. Thanks a lot.

Interesting concept. If you ever had to purchase crutches before, that really isn't a bad price....for crutches. :facepalm:

I was thinking the exact same thing. I bet he could get way more for them if sold as crutches....
