Little Blue Boat with Trailer Light Weight Fiberglass – $225


a little TLC and you have yourself one heck of a boat. this is probbly the best boat you could buy! This would be an amazing Father-Son project! Absolutly outstanding boat. You will need oars or an engine which ever you prefure. No leaks. Needs a wheelberring

The best boat I could buy? What a curious assertion.  I would think that the best boat I could buy would include some means of propulsion. And also not look like it’s constructed primarily of Bondo.  And while I assume the wheel bearing is required to repair the trailer, not the boat, I can’t be 100% sure with this clown.

Or maybe the berring is just in case I want to cross the Berring Strait in this boat.

Incidentally, I think I just broke my personal record for the number of tags applied to one post.

Thanks for the link, Melanie!

    If you hate your kid that much, wouldn’t you make better use of your time by going to family therapy?

      We call her the USS Cornfield.

      Yup, me and little Timmy are going out in the Cornfield again.

    Notice the person in the first photo– who is clearing going “Duud, there’s no way we’re getting pizza money for this . . . ”

    I’m pretty sure TN (where boat was registered) requires registration for the trailer, too.

    As a practical matter, that trailer does not have a winch, or any tie downs–this is something you really want to have, as having the boat slide off the trailer as you drive down the road makes it difficult to engage in boating at the other end of the trip.

    Given sparkii speeling, they may mean the prospective (putative, perhaps) buyer needs a “wheelbarrow” to cart this off, as the trailer might be fused to it’s spot from lack of movement (or the actual owner has chained the trailer to the garage).

    I could probably make that a much more amusing and jocular, but, I’m on only three hours’ sleep, being worked to death for my pittance and crusts.

      I saw the TN on the side too. Here in the lovely Volunteer State, this would actually be one of the better looking boats on any lake. Just add a cooler of Natty Lite and you practically have a redneck yacht.

        It looks a lot like my Dad’s johnboat, only his has an engine and is made of aluminum instead of what appears to be compressed styrofoam and some sort of fungal infection.

          It kind of looks like fiberglass.

          *turns head sideways and squints eyes*

          No, more like maybe boogers and toe jam.

          Maybe Sparky whittled it out of old cheese.

          We call that green construction nowadays.

        FWIW- the TN you see is at the end of the string of numbers and therefore doesn’t indicate Tennessee.

        A question I have is how does he go about claiming “no leaks”? It doesn’t appear that this boat has been near the water anytime during this millenium.

      Row, row, row yer boat;
      Gently down the road!

      Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily;
      The trailer lost it’s load!

    I needed a wheelberring once, but I couldn’t take the time off work. Had to do it myself, and I tell you, that really stings!

    *Psst: What’s a wheelberring? Anyone?*

      [corey]
      Since you asked, a wheel bearing is an important part of a car, a trailer, or anything else that rides on wheels. It’s basically a trapped set of ball bearings that allow the wheel to spin freely.

      What is a wheel bearing?

      Incidentally, unpowered boats do not need them, not having any wheels to speak of.

        Ah, but as a boat trailer ought to be able to tell you, bearings are a vital part of being able to take the trailer anywheres at all.

        Mind you, I’m one of the few people I’ve ever met who ever pulled and re-greased the bearings on a boat trailer. But, I’m picky about such things, I like waterproof grease on those stubs I’m going to submerge on a semi-frequent basis. Others seem to differ on this–and on getting trailer wheels aligned, too (I’m not keen on the trailer “wagging” behind me at highway speed).

        Nautical Wheelberring is the name of my Modest Mouse* cover band.

    It’s definitely an outstanding boat. It looks like it’s been out standing in his yard for years.

    Well I’m not braggin’ babe so don’t put me down
    But I’ve got the grungiest deal in town
    When something comes up to me he don’t even try
    Cause if it had a set of wings man I know she could fly
    She’s my little blue sloop
    You don’t know what I got
    (My little blue sloop)
    (You don’t know what I got)

    There’s an obvious chunk missing from the front seat, so it’s a project for the father, the son, and the holy boat. The trailer is too small for the boat even with a new herring aid. And the hull thing would be perfect for planting leeks or storing Absolut, which ever you prefure, despite Sparky’s pier pressure to add oars or an engine. And at that price, he’s trying to hold this for transom. Yacht to pass on this one.

    It’s really easy to catch fish from this boat.

    When they gather round the boat to laugh at it, just scoop ’em up.

      Actually, this boat is what you would call fish structure. As it sits at the bottom of the lake, fish would swim in and around it and feel fairly safe.
