I especially love people putting this in. Of course spammers and scammers would read that and go, "Dang... now I can't try to spam the guy because he said no spammers.". What is the point of wasting electrons to write that? And also... "serious inquiries only". I'm sure the recreational shopper/tire kickers will skip right past this gem of a boat because he wrote that.

With the condition of this boat, he'd be better off begging spammers, scammers, and any breathing soul he can get to come see the boat to talk to him.

My mistake, large 4 cylinder, that explains the 225hp. :D The cylinders must be the size of coffee cans. Why have I been messing with 8 cylinders for all these years?

HA! 225 horses ain't nothin'. How 'bout this one:

Boat with 750 HP Motor & Trailer - $500 (El Rito, NM)
Date: 2010-06-10, 5:24PM MDT

Motor was serviced recently runs great. Boat needs a little work with the seats. It is a nice fixer upper which doesn't need much to get it going. It does not leak and everything else works. Must sell and will sacrifice for $500. The service of the motor cost me $780, the trailer is worth another $300 and the boat at least $300 which would make it a total of $1380 and it is going for $500 final price.

Then there's this jewel:

1968 SHORE SOONERCRAFT WITH TRAILER - $1000 (northeast el paso, texas)
Date: 2010-06-02, 11:18PM MDT

1968 Shore Soonercraft (fiberglass) 15ft - 45 horsepower Mercury outboard engine. Boat was taken out to Caballo lake for a fishing trip, ran out of gas on the second day, added wrong fuel mix and stalled out by the edge of the lake. Boat has a small crack by motor side and with 5 heavy people on board, water came in fast and capsized boat. Ever since i re did the electrical wiring from ignition switch to motor, distributor was cleaned and resealed, battery got old and never bought a new battery. Don't know much about boats, so i just want to get rid of it. $1000 was put into the steering system before trip, so its well worth buying. Come see it or call me for more information: Johnny XXX-XXXX. No e-mails please, i really don't check my e-mail.

Minor technicality to the 'good running'...

http://springfield.craigslist.org/boa/1804874898.html

Good running GM 3.0 eng . The out drive is good. I forgot to winterize it, And the eng. block cracked. If you have a block,you would have a good running engine. Has a manual trolling motor,and a few assy. selling it as is
