I have been passively looking locally for a boat like that locally for a while now. I'm thinking about selling my fiberglass chris craft and picking up a nice 16-19 foot aluminum boat just like that. $900 is a great price. I'd pay as much as $2000 for that boat maybe more if the transom is good and the floor solid. If it was in good enough shape I would even go higher.

Unbelievable score! I'm so jealous. That's worth over 2 grand easy. Not to mention it's exactly what I wish I had. Maybe in another year or two I'll start seriously searching.

Does this sound fishy to anyone else?? This guy is actively trying to get scammed I think.

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

Looking for a new(er) motor and everyday I see these. From the horrible miss-spellings, to the sideways pictures. You know, hello, the name of your boat is on the SIDE of your boat. Just copy it down if you're spelling challenged. Oh, wait a minute, it's in the picture you just posted in your ad....
