First $300 takes this great boat I built. Come on up and take it down the river.
This could also be a great little fishing or duck boat.

Kind of makes you wonder why he dropped it from $800 to $300 - someone probably DID take it down the river and sank like a rock!!

73' 16 foot smokercraft - $1000 (Meade Co)

I have a 16' aluminum smokercraft. Comes with trailer, 2 gas tanks, 2 brand new seats, brand new uninstalled carpeting. Needs work, has a 40 horse johnson that turns freely nad has compression but starter is bad. Has clear title in hand. Will take $1000 cash OBO or trade for 4cyl truck, mustang, or self dfense items. Thanks

------------------
I love how he wants 'self-defense items'.

My all-time favorites though will always be the ones that say, "Boat trailer for sale $__________, buy the trailer and get a free boat."

The pictures show a questionable trailer and a boat that's a total wreck - they give you the boat because they don't want to haul it to the dump.
 
Saw this one and had to take a look. [-o<

1997 Smoker Craft 140 pro mag with a 1998 25hp Mariner. 2 gas tanks, one is 6 gal & one is 3 1/2 gal, 6 rod holders, 2 batteries that are new with onboard charging system, bilge pump and live well pump are original and work fine, bow mount Minnkota trolling motor with Auto Pilot (45# thrust), transom mount Minnkota trolling motor (30# thrust), Hummingbird locator mounted on the bow, Lowrance HDS with lake map chip on Ram mount at the stern, 2 anchors. The floor is solid, no soft spots and was recarpeted last year (2009). Boat rides on a Shorelander all roller trailer. Tires are in like new condition. Asking $2500 or best offer.

The boat was located 40 miles from my home, so I had to take a look. Turns out, the seller works at Mercury Marine and said he took the motor to work and had them go through the whole thing and make it perfect. I looked it over from stem to stern and could not find any thing wrong with it. Paid the man cash, hooked it to my truck and headed down the drive way. As I'm waiting for traffic to clear, a fella pulls into the drive way and stops next to me and asked if that was the boat that was for sale. Came real close to missing out on this deal but am happy to say she is bundeled up for the winter (sorry, no pics) but I used it many times last year and the entire rig is like brand new. I guess I just got lucky with this Craigslist add. =D>

I made it to about 10:00 AM this morning thinking it was Thursday. Someone was nice enough to clue me in that it's only Wednesday and it's been downhill ever since. :(
