Craigslist Gold!
 

OK, folks, we've all seen it - that "special" boat that pops up on Craigslist. You know the one, ratted out interior, custom (paint) brushed graphics, almost matching engines and oil changed just this decade - get it NOW for only $50K! And it will run 190 in reverse! This thread is to preserve and share those ads that are just gold.

I'd propose that the following guidelines:

1. Include a link to the original ad
2. Cut and paste the ad into a quote in your post, on the off chance that the original ad goes away - we want to preserve the humor for future generations!
3. If you can include pics, great, if not we'll just use our imagination

Happy shopping!

Here is an example to kick us off:


Sorry, no pics of the "mint" interior, but I'm sure it is just as awesome as the rest of the boat.

Did Cigarette use Kevlar on production boats in 1979?

No....The first Kevlar on that street (188th st) was at Cougar for Ross Perot's boat around 1983

Definitely look like some 500 hp mills to me!

Thanx for saving the post.

The guy loves text so if anyone has any qyestions please don`t hesitate to text: :D

Gotta bump this back up, heres some gold...

http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org...502215004.html

1974 24.5 foot Donzi for sale this is a project boat with some good lines . Boat is set up for two small block chevy motors that are not in sale of boat . Boat comes with motor mounts exhaust and flywheel adaptors for the two out drives . Boat comes on triple axle trailer . I have title for boat but not trailer . Again this is a project boat needs motors and interior work . No low ball offers I can sell trailer for that price by it self


No low ball offers guys, he can sell the trailer for that price...

what's so bad about that one? doesn't seem that bad....price seems reasonable. around here I could sell that trailer for $1000 in about 2 hrs....and that boat looks kinda interesting.

That is a cool old Donzi. I think h2oboater has one that is restored.

Damn, aluminum price that high down there ?

The boat wasnt bad, but that trailer looks like a complete POS and looks to be worth a few hundred bucks.

Check this one out

I wonder how hard it was to prop this one!

When you team up a painter with some leftover paint and an upholsterer with some leftover vinyl scraps, these are the results. Only in south Florida.

"Blue and green should never be seen". . . . . .

"Eye Catcher" the ad says!!! "Eye scratcher-outter" is what it should be!

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I type "cigarette" into CL to see what pops up....

Jesus palomino.....

Yep some guys do crazy stuff with boats for no reason. My neighbor in Harrison twp MI has a 1995 Rinker Captiva 232 that had a 454 in it, he replaced it with a crazy 555ci n/a engine with at least 700hp. Boat runs mid 80's and he does not have tabs or external steering! He asked me if I wanted to go for a ride and I said NO, I don't have a death wish.

My very first boat was a Bayliner 2250 Cobra just like the one in the ad. It had a merc 350 which was replaced with a 300plus hp 350 after I failed to winterize it. Matched up with a 19 pitch stainless prop and the boat would literally jump out of the water from a stop. I surprised more than a few fellow boaters during races. lol

Oh Boy... Those are actually the corporate colors of one of my clients... :poopoo:

that Excal cat was pretty cool before the got to it :picard1:

MAYBE IT WAS PAI NTED FOR THE CINCO-DIMEO OR THE RAINBOW COALITON :lolhit:PARADE

Yes, but did you go around comparing it to a Cigarette? And what about the high top exhaust? Must be Nike's venture into the performance boating world.

Is that tomato plants on the swim platform???

small boat
