As amusing as that was..

I find it a difficult sales spin that "This boat may kill you, BUT if you live through it, maybe some old salt at the bar will buy you a beer"

He is not selling this boat, but rather he is offering you the vision of this boat, with you against the Forces of God Himself, where you can stand tall knowing you rode her through hell and came out the otherside, with skin leathered and tanned from the inferno of the sun..and your backbone hardenend into a cedar mast that will not bow or bend to anyone..NAY ANYONE ever AGAIN!!!

(especially your 400 lb abusive wife that wont let you out of the house on Friday night to go out with your buddies)

It's not everyday you see a 16' cabin cruiser, it looks like like She's got a starboard list not even the water yet.

I especially like the in depth 'winterizing' method used on his engine; canvas over the motor, and not even tied off around the bottom.

Hey- It never hurts to be an optimist... You never know!!

I recognize the hull INSTANTLY. That's a Glasspar- I'm 90% sure it's a Citation... I'm midway through the restoration of one now (a 1960), they are great old boats. BUT- They were runabouts, not cabin cruisers... And I think that he has spoiled the classic lines :)

As for $1200, Well... I wish him the best of luck...

Re: Best Craigslist ad yet!

Im sure the ad will expire here soon, so below is the ad copied and pasted from CL.


16' of Awesomeness - $1200 (SB)
Date: 2009-12-23, 4:53PM PST


Complete with 30HP outboard motor, this sweet boat is certified by Davey Jones himself. Made from Hardened wale foreskin, this sea faring vessel has more balls then Chuck Norris.

If you?re looking to pop the collar on your pink polo shirt, don some topsiders and impress the ladies with an afternoon on the water, this is not your boat.

This boat is for an outdoors man. A guy who prefers to do things the hard way, because it?s HIS way damnit! If your looking for a mundane fishing vessel that gets you there and back without a hiccup??.keep looking. This boat is guaranteed to get you into heart pounding, adrenaline pumping situations.

Stop listening to that guy at the bar telling near death stories and start living them. This salty sea coffin WILL get you more ?I should have died? stories, girls and possible Discovery Channel TV deals then any other boat listed.

Get your wallet out; you?re only $1200 buck away from adventure and that sweet feeling of satisfaction knowing that you fought for your life.

I don't think this guy enjoyed boating to have an add like that. But he is a good story teller.

Ya I liked the hardened wale foreskin also.

Don't worry about the canvas cover on the OB. No need to winterize in Santa Barbara
