Pensacola Craigslist IDIOT of the day
« on: May 05, 2011, 10:02:09 PM »
Let's see:
Trailer is scrap
Boat is a rotten wood soaked sponge
The engine is 40 yrs old and seized up (might be the pump?? :drunken:  :drunken: )
But $500 should be a fair price?  What... to pay someone to haul it off??  :lol:

remember those honkers?? man would they scream, but they should have used that stuff called stainless steel on the drive shafts and a few other key locations that "might" have been effected by salt water, and you gotta love the disappearing wire insulation, turns to powder when you touch it, to expose the nice green wire beneath.

Is that a Chrysler Airslot boat?  If so, it has the Mercury engine upgrade from the original Chrysler (which became Force) outboard.  

And those tower of power Mercs would scream.  An inline 6 is an inherently balanced engine and can turn some amazing revs.

CJ,
The "Tower of Power" motors were truly awesome...but the "tweaked" 200 on the Doc's 17 Renegade...narrow block V-6, Boyesson reeds, bullet nose cone, LWPU, cleaver prop...oh, yeah, she'll move... :thumright:

Oh yeah, Lewis, and she just idles like a kitten after her "full tilt boogie"...instead of blowing up, like we all too often have seen...

Marc, As big an idiot as he sounds, I'm sure there's another one who will pony up a few hundred for this POS!  Just for chits and giggles, give him a call tomorrow and see if his little diamond in the rough is still for sale!
