And Then there's this one. I've always wanted a boat with a "bent tip" and no title that has only been on the water once.

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

Here is a bargan. At only $3000, I bet his email is full!

OMC 800 outdrive and transmission. Shifts easy, ball gear in good condition, skag has very few dents. Prop appears to be secondhand, but still in decent condition. Very low hours on entire unit. The worst part of this unit in that is hasn't been used in about 15 years. Clutch pack on trim seized together and clutches will need replaced. Did not check trim motor for operation. Exhaust ports are clean, trim gears are good, steering gears are good, shift cables move freely, never been frozen. Asking $3000.00 OBO. Trades considered, let me know what you have. (Engine in pictures not included)

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

twin trolling motors--any room for the outboard? 2 batteries, 2 motors, large solar panel and fits 4 men--that boat is sunk at the ramp right there.
no title; only been in the water once--so he went hog wild with the credit card ordering toys and never could use it!

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

Learn somthing new every day, I have absolutely no experience with A. anything that old and B anything that small. 120 hp inboard, which was rated at the crank instead of prop shaft I believe. So after drivetrain loss thats not a whole lot of hp for a 20 foot boat.:p

9 1/2' two man plastic bass boat - $400 (Carrollton GA)

9 1/2' two man plastic pond boat. This boat is dirty but floats for days. There are four small holes in the back maybe 1/4" they had been filled with silicone but I had to remove it when I left the boat upright for a few weeks when we had some heavy rain and the inside filled up, it is all dry now but i have not ever filled the holes back in. When the silicone was in two 200 plus pound guys fished all day and there were no leaks. All that being said, the boat has two swivel seats a snap down carpet floor and a battery holder in the back that is wired to a plug up front and one paddle. I want $400 but i know that is unrealistic so the price is $300 firm.

True, it was before the hp's were derated in the early 80's so maybe it's 90hp or so! But the boat is only 16'er. And in dire need of a good cleaning after sitting outside for awhile!

You should call, ask questions like what color, etc., then say "Pictures? What Pictures? I didn't look at any pictures before I called!"
