It looks to be in good shape.. of course you just don't know about the transom or stringers. Maybe the engines an 84'? Trailer looks semi good, but no fenders and I see some rust on one bracket... and the tires have no tread.. I'll pass... (of course if it was closer to home I'd probably try to buy it for a song and then fix/resell for a profit...) But Ga is just too far to travel.

I send him an email telling him he probably has the year wrong just so he doesnt piss off a potential buyer...he added this:

On Jul-15-10 at 18:31:18 PDT, seller added the following information:

sorry if the year is wrong i am not sure of the year when i bought the boat the guy told me it was a 84

I can't believe how people want to sell big ticket items on ebay with pi$$ poor descriptions, run on sentences, spelling errors, and someone should show him how to capitalize the first letter of every sentence. Or maybe that was just one long sentence...
:booty:

OK, I feel better.

I thought exactly the same thing. You know typos, etc. are not so bad for a quick email or a quick post or text message, but for a "for sale" ad, I agree with you; have someone proofread your work before you post it, run spell check, anything but the kind of gibberish that guy put in his ad.
