I wonder if it's AS IS? I like the idea of a burn pill because I don't think 100K will do it.

WOW that is going to be a total disassembly and rebuild from scratch. Too much wrong with it to try to move it as well.

Well at least he's honest about it

Just use a dozer to push it to a safe place and light a match. Its done.

There are some salvageable parts on her, but not $2500 worth. Someone in need of those parts should get them for free in exchange for helping him burn it.

Yes there is probably some salvageble parts, but I don't know if I would trust the hull to remove any part. I would worry about it collapsing standing on it.

Still poking around for a 6hp or so kicker for the lonestar, These ones might be a bit overpriced.

Interesting that the boat has been sitting there for 15 years, And I love the part about it ran before sitting in there. Like that means anything at this point. And you better have a trailer, because it doesn't have one. Makes one wonder how did they get it in there initially?

I like when the ad says, "runs great!" you get there and it doesn't have a carb on it. And then they tell you, well it ran great the last time it ran.... Or, "it's and easy fix. $10.00 part. I just don't want to mess with it." and the block is cracked....

Yup, the ol' "and all YOU need to do is __________________..."

• get the carb rebuilt
• help me find the carb
• tune it up
• get the title figured out
• air up the tires
• get a new tire
• get a new trailer
• give me back the trailer
• buff out the 3 inch breach in the gelcoat
• etcetera etcetera etcetera

I`d rather have the truck.

Yes the truck is more interesting, but notice that trailer is way too small for that boat too. I believe it could be brought back to life again, but not for that price. JMHO!

I agree, that boat could be really nice with a little time and cash.
