Looks like it could be a new business endeavour,, ""The Sauna Fishing Charter Company" just needs a wood stove and some downriggers.

[h=2]Enclosed boat - Needs work - $100[/h]


Nice that they kept the handrail up front, although I don't see how a person could get there. Must be really fun to drive on a windy day as streamlined as it is.

When I saw this I wondered if I had bought my Starchief too soon. I could have had my little dream cuddy cruiser for a few hundred less.

Wow! What a beautiful piece of work!
Thinking about rigging up the same setup for my boat.

did not get the exact point as im new in this forum

This thread is filled with sarcasm. Although some of these ads are intriguing, most are simply funny. Every once in a while one comes along that really sparks genuine interest in someones " Home made " improvements.

... and it still amazes me how some people can destroy a boat then advertise it to the world and still want money...

Interesting set up here;

http://pennstate.craigslist.org/boa/5387029521.html

It was summer I might even see about taking it for a test drive just to see how it operates. Might just be a nice set up for a shallow river fishing boat.


For the $1200 being asked that's actually a really nice setup. I'm a big fan of glorified rowboats however as there is such low upkeep for something like that.

That engine looks like it may need more than just a few lifters!:facepalm: I'm sure you can run down to your local marina and pick up a nice cheap aluminum replacement prop too.:rolleyes:
