No flea markets ?[cool]
I once bought a 17'V-hull fiberglass boat at one ,$400.00 .
tuned up the 40 hp. moter and took her for a spin[
] .
when I got back I put a new lower end on the moter , took her for another spin [
].
when I got back i ripped out the rotted floor and put in a new floor and transom . slapped in some new carpet , a radio , speakers , seats , a fish finder , and some lights ( more stuff too , but you get the idea )[unsure] .
she went out a couple more trips before we started having issues with the throttle and stearing cables [shocked].
Ever try fishing the Detroit river stuck in reverse , let alone try to put back into the dock like that[pirate] ?
It sounds funny , but the coast guard didn't see any humor in it .
I took it back to the flea market and sold her for $400.00.[angelic]
Sometimes ya' gotta have a whole buncha money to afford a good deal after the sale , then ya' gotta know when to pass that good deal on to some other sucker before ya' run yourself broke .
With that in mind , did I ever tell ya' about the first Mrs. ?[crazy]LOL!!!!
