Boat for sale cheap, with spare parts

fishbait · 11-25-2004, 09:31 AM

I am making this post for a friend, he is kinda embaressed. He bought this boat partially finished and figured he could finish it himself, but just too many problems. Here is a picture of the boat:

I want to fully disclose the issues that he told me about:

1. No spinny thing on the motor.

2. Side are too high for him to get into the boat.

3. There is a hole in bottom of the boat. He said it was a big round hole in the hull, at the back of the boat under the motor. He was scared the boat would sink.

4. Steering wheel is improperly mounted. He wanted it on the inside.

5. The rod holder thingies are too hige for him to reach, and the handle on his snoopy rod is too short and the reel hits.

6. He says the motor is mounted wrong, his old boat had the motor on the boat, not on that big funny looking extension.

7. No paint or decal on the boat. All his friends have cool paint and decals on their boats.

Now, I personally don't know alot about boats, but this looks like a pretty good deal to me for the right person.

You can get more information from my friend, just call Bait-O-Eggs at 503-123-4567

I could have dealt with all the other problems, but the spinny thing on the motor is a deal breaker for me !!

If the sides are tall for him they are just as tall for me as well, sorry I will have to pass.

Short guys do catch more fish they are closer to the water.

Is this Thanksgiving or April Fools?
I haven't laughed this hard in ages!

Thank you for that, Mr. Fishbait!

I'm waiting on the response from the owner on this one

I think he was planning on polling this boat, why else would he have the Pollocks on the boat?

Pete · 11-25-2004, 10:35 AM

Looks like the boat has some special features. There sure are a lot of tubey things on the top, but I guess each passenger needs a rod and a lot of guys the size of your friend probably fit on a boat that big.

I'm a little surprised the hole would bother him. I saw his old boat. He put all kinds of holes in that one and it never seemed to be a problem.

Is it true that the fuse box was mounted under the transom?

How high are the hand rails on the roof?

Does the boat ramp at Clackamette go deep enough to launch a boat like that?

jocose · 11-25-2004, 10:53 AM

whats up with those wheels too. boats dont have tires and wheels, sheesh the boat builder really goofed this one up... ill take it off his hands for 100 bucks and turn it into a planter in my front yard..

WaterDog · 11-25-2004, 11:04 AM

That's about as clean as that boat is ever going to be in its life. :grin:

So if you have 4 gages and only one plug in which one do you decide to use?

Bait O' Eggs · 11-25-2004, 11:32 AM

Its your day Steve,

I hope you have a good "Turkey" day.

saltwater only · 11-25-2004, 11:34 AM

So will we expect to see the owner on the I want a ride list next year?

Good one

Jsail · 11-25-2004, 11:36 AM

I know a guy that will snap this up in a minute, inspite of the issues with the lack of a spinny thing on the motor

, hole in bottom of the boat

, the motor is mounted wrong

, and the fact that it's new :shocked:. Word has it that he even has a job starting soon. Hope his wife is in the Christmas spirit :grin:.

FishinMission · 11-25-2004, 01:44 PM

Don't ya think it would make a "Cool" smoker?? Non flammable!

Happy T-Day, Roy!

I'll bid $125

Rod Holder · 11-25-2004, 02:54 PM

Your friend is correct in being worried about that hole in the bottem. That hole will let water in the boat and with nowhere for the water to go, the boat will sink, what he needs to do is drill another, larger hole to let the water out.

Bill Monroe · 11-25-2004, 03:15 PM

$150 (with one hole...I'll go another $50 for two, but you guys are pushing me here)

larryb · 11-25-2004, 10:04 PM

tell him to look under the hood of his truck i found a spare spiny thing there

Mr. Fisherman · 11-26-2004, 03:56 AM

Rumor has it that motor spins backwards anyway.
Maybe the spinny thing got damaged in the parking lot when they test fired the boat and it backed into a fence?
Those round wheels look like they roll pretty good...
Maybe it's amphibious so you can just roll over those sand bars?
Don't go picking on Roy for those high rails now... No need to reach the pedals on a boat, he will be just fine...

Miss B Haven · 11-26-2004, 07:12 AM

You guys are all killin me.

JustCallMeDave · 11-26-2004, 11:53 PM

I have a 17" monitor. Knowing the original owner, would this picture show the boat at actual size?

Gus Orviston · 11-27-2004, 08:56 AM

Steve

gosh, all the material for a good joke just sitting there and I miss it.

So does it float? I hear it hasn't been in the water which really concerns me.

Hogmaster · 11-27-2004, 10:06 AM

Man!

That thing looks big enough to just take a welder on board!

No, Roy, taking the spiny thingy off does not make it a jet!

I saw a infomercial about a ladder that can be configured something like 114 different ways. Might work to caterpillar it up on deck!

PS - Nice ride!
