ok its more like a dream , this local ad http://potsdam.craigslist.org/boa/2907967514.html
has me thinking I could get a brand new engine AND trailer for under 4k
would that engine fit and align in my 79 f26 ? anyone want a project boat ?

Not sure about that one. My problem with that ad is if they don't even know what kind of boat it is (it's a Chris craft not a silverton) then what else did they get wrong. Might be worth a look though.

I have a good idea too. I played 20 numbers last night but no one hit it. So now you have until Friday night to play for even bigger money! I may just get new diesels after all!

20$ ??? It's not a slot machine. Only takes 1 to win. 19$ waste with these odds. You may as well drop 1 million on numbers and make the pile bigger. Research the previous winners. IMO any more than 1$ is a waste of $, but I'm addicted to betting on ponies so I'm not allowed near gambling. Ponies have better odds tho

Guy that moved my f25 said he should have brought his triple axle trailer, this pic doesn't look like the trailer and boat matches, maybe it's because of the boat jacks under the transom I don't know. Boat seems weird on that trailer tho IMO

That trailer looks way too small for that boat even though it is a tandem. I had a 26' Bayliner and it had a ShoreLand'r trailer that was nearly 35' long overall and it looked normal for that boat. Something strange about this whole deal.

Caveat Emptor - let the buyer beware!

glad someone agreed, my guy who owns a small marina, boat mover and donzie dealer.....researched my boat best he could. When we towed it to the ramp I hear him say "aww sh::" " I should have brought my triple" "that's a big 25!!!"" that's when I walked away lol. He is young, but he did a great job and was a short distance, but he wanted my boat off of his trailer ASAP..
