Going to do a couple repairs and take it down to the keys in a month or so.

I've got a nice 16 foot aluminum jon boat I will be selling soon if your interested. I was REALLY interested in your boat, but I just can't afford to go offshore anymore, and with a 2 year old and another on the way, I couldn't justify a bigger boat right now. And welcome to selling on craigslist, gotta love the emails from guys who have watched to much pawn stars, and send you email for 30% of your asking price and tell you that you should kiss there a$$ for offering you that much, and take it as well as deliver it to them for free, full of fuel, and loaded with beer. Craigslist has been great, and HORRIBLE all at the same time. But I blame shows like pawn stars and the like for making everybody believe they are some sort of master negotiator and can get something for whatever they feel is good. If I think the asking price is in the ballgame, I show up, look it over, make sure I think it is what was described, then ask them there bottom dollar. If it jives with what I feel comfortable with, I buy it, if not I say thank you for your time and move on.
