    Thanks, as they say "must see to appreciate"! She has been a labor of love and a gas to run, but now she needs a new home.

    Off already

    It's off CL already. Sold it?
    I have far too many boats, just ask my Wife.
    If you have something of great quality, and you take care of it, it will last forever.

    Nope, not sold already. Within 4 hours of putting it on Craig's list some A-hole scammer was contacting me with some kind of PayPal scam. Decided to drop it off CL and reconsider my approach. I want to sell the boat, but I don't want to be subjected to that kind of crap! Thanks for asking though.

    Ignor them

    Ignor the scammers. The real deal might happen if you leave it on.
    i love playing with those guys. I have two checks here from them, both made out to "Heywood Jablomey" they even send them overnight. It's fun and cheap entertainment. I'll post pictures when I get to my office.
    i saw a nice little Porsche on cl the other day. Got contacted by a woman, or at least that what they said they were. Said she got the car in a divorce settlement. I said I wanted to see the car and they said meet me at Hooters. I said OK. They said to email when I get there. An hour later I emailed them and said I was the good looking guy in the red shirt. They said they were the cute one with big breasts, I said, I see you. They said I was crazy, I agreed.

    Understand the BS goes with the positives of the CL marketplace...
    There are people on there selling legit $Million dollar boats so it is clearly working for the boat market!
