Hmmm, how far it to the ocean and does a trailer come with it?

What I like is the before and after pics of the head. Looks like the stand was driven through the hull after initial listing was put together.

I'm not sure I'd want the one in the pic anyway. Looks like the leeward hull is about to get stuffed into the bottom and then the whole boat is going to roll in that breaking wave.

Re: Post the Worst "For Sale" Picture You've Seen.

I bet that they guy has a ton of marine wreckage "out back" and the county stopped by with an ordinance violation ticket. He has to get rid of a ton of crap, but there are some newer boats in the mix that he wants to keep...
I have walked into that sort of ad before.

Good chance of getting a great deal that way.

Screams "just get it out of here" to me, maybe even PO's family members.
