Creative Boat For Sale Ad

This has got to be one of the most creative (and entertaining) Boat For Sale ads I've ever seen....

Boat For Sale

I especially like his "Terms for Financing" option!!! Good stuff!

1. "Who stowed all those helium balloons in the stern?"

2. "Crew alert! Nude beach dead ahead!"

3. "I've seen long wavelengths on the ocean, but this one's ridiculous!"
