I realize it's a simple typo... but I am preeeeety sure a 200$ transom prolly won't stand up to 700 horsepower. LOL

It never ceases to amaze me how some sellers assume everyone is just plain stupid. I misread the add for the Terrarium, I thought it said seller will pay $400.00 to have it removed from the property, me just stooped.

I read an ad for a boat that went something like he had just raped his boat for the winter. I thought I would be a smart aleck and responded with most people wrap their boats and raping was not cool, believe it or not they never changed the ad. Another ad was selling a mustang and clearly the car was Pontiac GTO aka Judge, I told him the picture was not a ford and further a GTO was worth more than a Mustang. They never changed he ad..

I get the feeling this guy wants the boat gone. I wonder if he's willing to move on the price?

Makes you wonder what he would do if you rolled up in your truck and said, I'll take it right now, you pay me $200.... and help me hook up to the truck..

This isn't a rotten glass heap, it's an 60's aluminum 22' Starcraft Chief and very desirable in the restoration niche.

Looking at the ad again, I wonder if he means he'll remove the craigslist ad when the boat is sold?

just to keep for posterity....

"The trailer pulls very good, I never pulled something this little down I-44 before. I have a 5 hp motor on it. I hardly ever used it. It spent most time tilted up. Trolling motor is 30. I used it more than motor, I had it couple years before I bought motor.I always keep boat motors in garage, even the boat was in garage. Now with everything on trailer it is under a camper shell with tarp. E-mail is better to see what you think. "
