Why do people even bother

[ufm82]

I love looking through the boat 4 sale ads and coming across this creampuff. "Great little fishing boat". This is usually followed by desciption of how the floor is soft, that the engine ran two years ago when it was parked and the tires are good on the trailer but are flat and need air. What a great deal!!! LOL

Why is it the decent boats are all "great for the family" but the turds are potential fishing boats. Do fisherman seem that expendable???

Some people seem to think that fishermen don't care about anything except it is cheap, it will float, and they are willing to fix stuff. They also think that fishermen leave the family home.:facepalm:

Don't know but the same can be said for used cars....."Why is it the decent used cars are all "great for the family" but the beaters are potential fishing cars. Do fisherman seem that expendable???"

Anywhere near the Chesapeake......any boat listed as "great for crabbing" is guaranteed to be the biggest POS ever.

Just like any camper listed as great for hunting!!!

Why do they even bother to email when they notice boat is For Sale not trade. Put the boat in Craigs list and I get an email from a person who wanted to know if I'd trade for his bigger gas gussling boat.
