Is the Fresh-Aire cuddy A/C included? It's stinkin' hot & muggy on the east coast these days.... Might be just the right deal sweetener to 'Git-R-Dun' and bring that boat home. Boat term used loosely, very very loosely :facepalm:

I still love how folks misspell the name, when it's on the side of the boat, too! In his defense, the sticker may be gone off the side of the boat, (can't tell since it's so dirty!) but it's inside somewhere too.

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

Of course the trailer alone is worth the asking price:
is the tire falling off?

No. It done fell off. Just the way to show a $700 trailer in good condition. :facepalm:

Those are high dollar, quick connect rims. Easy on, easy off.............

All the cool glasser's are use 'em :rolleyes:

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

I don't think so. More like the axle broke or the bearings came apart...:facepalm:
doesn't look broke, you can see the hub protruding through the wheel opening...likely he didn't have a tire on it or it was flat an dhe got a replacement and just stuck it in there close for the picture.....sans lug nuts!! ha ha no big deal.... sometimes guys spiff stuff up to get their price, others like me realize the price wont change if the tires dirty or half worn,....so what... but....a missing fender, gouged rotors, FLAT tires...that stuff matters. I always say working lights are to be hoped for but not guaranteed!! ha ha......bob

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

This boat was used regularly after be restored over twenty years ago. Great for Lake Erie fishing.

Recently it has been sitting for over a decade

The floor would need replaced but all the understructure was replaced as was the fiberglass and gel coat on understructure. The carpet would need replaced.
I'm sure it would need some wiring and other repairs as well.

The engine is a 300 cubic inch Buick and the out drive is an OMC. The reason it was parked is because the out drive shift magnet broke. I know this because I've. Replaced before its the week link of this model out drive.

The PVC piping in the pictures is a structure built so we could put a tarp over it. It can be left or comes with it.

Trailer brakes worked when it was parked but that was a long time ago.

All in all this boat needs a lot of work. Sold as is. Make reasonable offer text 330-907-711two or email offer.


Unh? What? Really, it 'needs some wiring & other repairs', really?

Are we sure it's not currently submerged? The pix all have a nauseating blue hue to them....

Pew, been some stinkers, and I've posted a few, but this ^^^ petunia is R I P E ............The 'Making an offer' line starts BEHIND me :laugh: :faint2:

Beware: buyers should confirm they are up to date on their rabies vaccine, a family of angry badgers have made this derelict their home

You're not reading carefully. the ad clearly states "title in hand in good condition"; that means the title is in good condition, not the trailer. :)
