Not sure he could make a sentence without a curse word. I do know folks like that...but don't hang around them... I bet he still owns those blocks next week or month too... Who would want to go buy them from him?

Funny, I would. I'm building a boat shed and am trying to get most of the material used, and I would LOVE to find some for $1 each. I deal on Craigslist a lot, and as long I don't think I'm dealing in stolen goods I don't really judge if I'm buying material.

A boat or car, I try to stay in the "nicer" neighborhoods, they take better care of their stuff. Blocks? I don't care.

I love how people say their trailer is worth so much money. I wouldn't give $10 for that trailer

He forgot the period after the 8. Even at $48 not sure buyers will run to him.

Of course it has no leaks. Well, it didn't leak the last time out in 1965. :lol:

Sure $4800 is crazy, but $48 is crazy the other way IF you like finned 1950-60's boats. Certainly closer to $48 then $4800 though...

Problem is many see OLD boats as RARE & valuable. Old doesn't always mean either, rarely does IMHO. But I may be partial to the big fins, and I admit it does look a bit ridiculous.... But that's one of the reasons I like it.

1963 seems a tad late for fins this radical though:

Trailer doesn't look great either...

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

Do we see an offer coming? Offer just 1 less zero and $480 it will probably yours, fins and even that great Merc 40.

Not unless I win the lottery tonight (not in it, so it's extremely unlikely I'll win it :cold so I can grab that 40 acres, pole barn & a mule.

Then maybe.

A really unlikely maybe: I am OFFICIALLY, 2 boats over the limit w/ SWMBO (keeper of the warm & ready frying pan) and really more like 3+ boats over the limit.

Although later in May I will be down near Charleston, in the company truck (with a trailer hitch).....

Then again, it's 'only' 2 & 1/2 hrs away........:facepalm:

You are certainly native to the state.
West Virginia....where distance is measured with units of time rather than miles.

I'll translate: "Then again, it's 'only' 2 & 1/2 hrs away........"

About 135 miles or so.

I have to use time, w/ the whole state as my 'territory' I really don't care how many miles between cities, it's the TIME between.. At 70mph + on the freeway, and 'only' 135mi +/-, it shouldn't take 2hrs to get to Charleston. Always more like 2 & 1/2hrs...

Same going to Martinsburg, Huntington & Wheeling...... And when scheduling an appt, I almost always figure the time + 30min, never the mileage. Drives me crazy to be late.

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

In the old days, I knew guys who measured trips by six packs.

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

I know when I leave my daughter's house in Ohio to come home if I've not made Martinsburg in 2 hours or less I've probably got my 1st speeding ticket.

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

Around here (Central PA) distance is usually measured in "ways". As in "drive north a ways" is a short trip, "a pretty good ways" is a bit farther, but if you're really on a road trip it's "quite a ways". Beyond that you have to "go over the mountain" and all sense of time and distance is lost.

This one showed up in the boat section on our local CL this morning, thought it was funny!

Normal Pills (legal) - $5 (Flathead)
Are you feeling strange as of late? Have you been selling your stuff on craigslist for 20 times what it's worth? Try and sell your chair for $200, crazy right? Your table for $500, insane. Your 1985 Ford pick-up with a burnt tranny and non-working motor, $5000? Are you out of your mind? Can't figure out why your brain don't work so good?

Grab some rare all-organic "Normal Pills"
"Normal Pills" last for up to 24 hours.
"Normal Pills" will help you sell your crap for what it's worth, rather than what your crazy brain thinks it's worth.
Make more money in one day than you have all year.

Normal Pills----for all of you crazy folks who thinks your trash is worth anything.

:facepalm:
