Mocking Ads on Craigslist

[blackjenner]

We have the Ugly Boat Admiration Society thread but, I thought a little more focus on the source and a wider focus on boat stuff might entertain. The drawback of this thread is the pictures will eventually go away as the ads die.

Here's a piece of gold.

Bruce Anchor 15 lbs. - $25 (Gig Harbor)

I salvaged this anchor. It's a Bruce style and weighs 15 or 20 lbs. is my guess. Comes with a shot of chain. $25
Anyone need an anchor? It's cheap.

There are more than $25 in those nice shiny SS shackles! Looks like three of them too, such a deal...

 

[Ishmael]

The chain doesn't look too bad...90 feet of chain would fetch $25, the shackles would be a bonus.

Now you've set the challenge, I'm sure craigslist and their ilk will be pillaged for crap like this.

Here's an interesting one. Attention-getting if nothing else. And free, which is good for a laugh.

That's a Seaborn designed Sierra 26, maybe better known as a Rawson 26. Maybe only known as a Rawson 26.. That is a very good sailing boat.

A few years back there was a $100 boat offered near here. It was a wooden wreck in someone's back yard held up with a number of Brownell stands in decent condition. I thought of taking a few lengths of wood over, paying the $100, propping up the boat and taking the stands.

I thought better of it when i remembered an earlier experience I had had clearing out my mother's house. A book buyer came by and after looking over the books offered me $500 for them. My response was to be clear that I wanted a price on taking all the books out of the house. He came back with $300 and we had a fair deal.

It looks like a rounded version of a Thunderbird. He had quite a style. I like them, I think the Tbird is a great boat.

Ask Olaf, he seems to know about this stuff.

Same as you do, remember that gravity pulls you up here. you get used to it. I still have to take a double take when you USA folk post photo's but I'm sort of used to it now.

They don't seem to have any problems, no complaints from the blokes around here mate.

Is this one located in Australia?

 

[SemiSalt]

I'll play.

Ish:

Yes, I think this design predates the T-bird. There was one in Seattle called SKINNYDIPPER that kicked ass for a few years in the 70's. It was a rocket in the light stuff.

 

[Jose Carumba]

Back in the day there was a Sierra 26 that raced out of Tacoma which consistently spanked everyone in her class. Can't remeber her name though.

I do not get why you don't, at least, mention the boat manufacturer, model, or ... something.

This baby hits the trifecta- deserves to be in this thread, the cool boat thread and the ugly thread as well. Motor is only missing a piston (I guess that means "runs good"). I assume the tires go with it. $1,100 asked but I'll bet will go for less.

I could swear that, on a boat hunting trip back in 2010, we might have climbed up a ladder and looked at this thing. It was on the hard, in a yard, in Everett.

It was...odd. All around, odd.
