I saw that today. I didn't read the full ad, but remember thinking "That's a car, not a boat. Must've put the wrong picture up..."

The best line, "NADA says its worth XXX."

Umm, no, its worth that much *IF* its in good condition.

I love it when dealers (auto or boat) say NADA values it at _______ when new. So what? It ain't new anymore so what does that have to do with anything?!

Sea-doo Challenger 2000. 250 Horse Power Mercury Jetboat. Excellent condition interior. Retractable ski pylon. CD Stereo with multiple speakers, 5 storage compartments plus motor well storage, and a custom fit travel cover. Great condition Karavan trailer with brakes. Damage to fiberglass bottom must be fixed to use boat. See pictures below. Call for more details

ok int looks nice, gel coal looks good...
pic of bottom, oh looks like they cliped a rock, not too bad...
then the last pic...HOLY F#$%!! its missing a 2.5'x4' chunk of hull! just gone!
i dont even think that it COULD be made seaworthy again, but certinly not for less then buying a boat that already floats.

OH but it does happen!
i listed an ad once on CL offering $100 for a semi driver to stop in and move an empty 45'van a half mile. i had a guy call up, insalted that i would offer so little in my ad, because he lived 3 hours away and it would cost much more then that in just fuel to get there! (because all the ads on CL are addressed spacificly to him right) he got all pissy, " well good luck with that!" he said laphing at me as he hung up.

remember, no matter how stupid the warning lable, its there because someone needed to be told.

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

Like this guys attitude will sell the boat....
It's probably not too bad of a price but the fact that he don't want anyone to look at it without buying it surely won't endear him to many potential buyers. The thing most likely has some old gas guzzling V8 that burns $500+ per day with today's fuel prices.
If I were him, I'd be happy to just find someone to drag it out of my yard....

Trailer alone is worth $1500. My friend and I just spent 10 grand on a bigger boat so this has to go. Engine started fine last summer but I can not find key. I put over 2 grand into it after paying 1500 for it (thats 3500 altogether). With a little TLC this will a nice boat to take the family out in or dock it for a party boat. The inside (bed, table) is not in good shape but not trashed either, you can either clean it up or replace)

I will not talk to anyone who does not come with cash. I will not meet you at the boat and answer a lot of dumb questions. If you are crazy and just want someone to talk to I am not your man. If you want the boat I will meet you somewhere with the title and you can follow me to it. It is in my friends back yard, he does not want anyone there except the buyer. If you are serious and not crazy email me.

Again, only email me if you have cash and are going to buy it. It takes a 2in ball. I'm sick of all the weirdos that contact me when I sell anything. For 900 or b/o you are getting an incredible deal. I will only sell it Sat afternoon or Sunday, after that I will have re-keyed keep it, I really don't care.

* Location: Millville
* it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
