boatyard's latest activity

I quit trying to figure people out a long time ago, I saw the motor there, realized it wasn't too terribly far away, and figured I'd at...

Its not listed anymore because its sitting in the trunk of my car. I had emailed the seller over the weekend and didn't get a reply...
