Default 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:


79 Cigarette Misstress35 ALL OR PARTS - $12500 (warren)



this Boat is for sale as is. It has been vandalized/ parts stolen, was running when parked. Cyclone tall deck 496 500hp plus engs and Super Speed Master #3 outdrives 80 plus MPH BOAT. Kevlar hull, rock solid boat, stand up bolsters and rear seat needs re- upholstering /weathered, interior is mint(teak) . This boat was built for racing not just a sport cruiser. View the pictures and IF you are interested in buying not just looking call me. No low ballers or B S. If you know what you are looking at this boat still has a shot or at the very least an excellent donor towards fixing another. The trailer is custom made by me show contact info Ted WILL CONSIDER TRADES

this boat will part for 20k plus the hull and the trailer, lets see what you need
Sorry, no pics of the "mint" interior, but I'm sure it is just as awesome as the rest of the boat.

I get my wife to send me a text message w/the approval🤓

A few yrs back she came home from work to see a new/used 21’ Checkmate in the driveway.

She says, “wow, gorgeous boat, who’s is that?”

Me,
”it’s ours”.

Her, “no it’s not”.

Me,
”yes it is”.

Her,
”no it’s not”.

Me,
”yes it is”.

Her,
”no it’s not”.

Me,
”you said I could”.

Her,
”No I didn’t”

Me,
”yes you did”.

Her,
”no I didn’t”.

Me,
”yes you did.
Here, look”.

And I handed her my phone (had been waiting on her) showing a text from her that said,
“you can buy the Checkmate”.

Her, after reading my text she shouted,
”DAMNIT”!
And walked in the house 🤓

Yes there was alcohol involved and it only worked once.

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
