I'll probably regret posting that

30 day warranty but return shipping rarely goes well. Maintenance fees look high but you may impress all of your fiends.

What does larger handles with rolled edges mean? Then we have the experienced seller. I prefer newer boxes.

What happens after 9 months anyway?

True crappy boat, but the seller isn't trying to sell it as a gem.

That's a perfectly good ad: shows condition as "salvage" and makes it pretty clear that the trailer is the only thing that has value.

Although now that I say this, the ad should to be effective should show some decent pictures of the trailer ...

Doesn't come with nail clippers I bet.

Oh, dear, I was going to say something about that but decided to be polite for a change.

Those nails are almost as gross as the boat.

What about the pinkey ring?

[senormechanico]

While we're at it, where's that thumb been recently?
Maybe we don't want to know !

If they are, perhaps they have been encouraged to get rid of the horrible, useless pictures in their ad, and replace them with some that will actually help to sell the boat. Perhaps other CF members, having seen this thread, will be sure not to make the stupid mistakes that are highlighted in so many of the "insults" here, and will -- as a result -- be able to sell their boats for a fair price, in a fair amount of time.

These postings may be insulting to the people who put the pictures in their ads, but then...

I hope they are!! if you've been posting ads to sell a boat and they look like the majority of the ads featured here....well, this is why you're attracting the bottom feeders or no-one at all.

Someone really messed this one up.

Bad pic, with ones to show what it used to look like with masts.

^^The bow lines are not similar.

[denverd0n]

Oh my GOD!!! What did they do to that poor, poor boat!?!

[senormechanico]

Imho, the bowsprit and bow "gingerbread" or whatever you call that reverse curve part are missing which is why it looks so different.
