Yea!  The roads can get to be a pain sometimes but, ya get use to it.  The rains help!  The dust is down and we all get together with our tractors and keep it pretty nice.
I am in a position to make someone a REALLY sweet deal if that would help ya get over the roads???
Lease option/ purchase?  OPEN FOR just about any and all IDEAS!

Didn't see the post I made an hour ago but, YEP that is that flaty we're talkin' about!

Thanks!!!!  That's my heart and this country, fubared as it seems sometimes.
Nice to know someone thinks it's cool!

Let's see she is painted like the american flag and the battery caught on fire and took out a couple of things under the hood but, I bought most of the parts needed and I figure a day and a half she is going again.  I just have not had the time but, she holds a special place 'cause of the paint job I did
Whatcha thinkin'?
As far as beerjets, NOPE just a guy that can't stand history killed!

Well Doc,
I'm understanding all the logic and I caught the auction, Hell, $750 is almost half of what I'm now asking but, I will have to store her before I could bring myself to start just sellin' parts. 
I restore antique aircraft, from the ground up and I do all the work, cover, glass, paint, stripe, interior, rig etc. so I guess I just don't see this boat as that "much" of a project??  Just me I guess.
As far as the 348 and your first thought of the $3000, I got your note eons ago I just never modified the ad, guess I should! 
BTW ..... At first you were not the only one to say the $3000 price, might depend on where ya are and how bad you need/ want one.
EVERYONE ELSE!  Believe me, I really appreciate the tactless insight and I don't take it wrong, I've been around airports and boats all my life and there has NEVER been any room for thin skin so, it's all good!
Thanks guys!  If ya know anyone I'll just keep the price at the $1750, if she sells it would be nice to see her headed back to the water if not I'll have to find a way to do it myself,  THEN LOOK OUT she might even make a mag. cover or 2 'cause I'll do her up just like the last plane I did.  See below

 
****HELP**** Is it not worth it???  Is the market that bad??  Or do I just suck st sales?
********Quick sale at only $1750 this weekend CASH.******* 1960's Gaylord flat bottom 348 ci like a ?schiada? "V" drive
with trailer( old school tube type). Complete!!!! Just found out the engine #'s put it as a 1959 Chevy Impala engine. In Winchester, Ca. 92596
I was told the 348 was worth around $3000 and that rest of the hardware, trailer, and hull should bring almost $3000 so I hope the reduced price of only $1950 seems fair enough to help me get over a bit of a financial wake in the pond right now. Perfect for the visionary! This has been stored a while but, would be a fantastic restoration project and turn every head at the lake or river, might even give some whiplash at 50+ mph. No papers or tags. Really hate to see her go but, gotta move and there is no room.

Just a family man working hard! Hope you can help. Look for much more soon. Cars (79 VW rabbit diesel $500& 90 Ford Taurus 4 dr.$500), truck (67 Ford F-250 $1100), boats (74 18' Glastron $700), farm equipment, small outboards 6 hspr Johnson & 4 hspr Evinrude), Large Commercial stove "Wolf" $700, household fixtures (water and electric), ceiling fans, clothes, electronics, etc. Call and ask, Selling everything to move! Search under "skinner" in craigslist.org California inland empire search bar.

Five acre (4.84 actual) view property in estate area of the same, 5 acre minimum. Established in 1999. Permitted unbuilt pad with 360 degree view over rolling hills, seasonal creek that borders property and picturesque boulders. The "1989" 1848 sqft manufactured home also has a great view and is 433c permanent foundation with, 4 bd, 2 ba, den/ office, family room, living room, and formal dining room, a/c, large concrete patio and almost 1 acre of chain link fenced yard at the house, plus concrete parking pad, stairs, and handicapped ramp. Great place to live while building the dream house! The detached garage is 35' x 55' on over 3200 sqft of concrete with 220 and 110 volt power and 24 solar panels, 2 wind generators, 12 large deep cycle batteries in a vault to hold the power to run through the 2 Trace inverters that can power the home/ shop and produce power that can be sold back to Edison as a certified generation station. The property has 2 wells and a 3750 gallon storage tank and 2 pressure tanks, 2 R.V. pads with full hook-ups, and an over sized septic system (tank and leech field) for the future home on the upper pad. Plenty of room for toys, horses, projects and hobbies. Rural enough for country livin' but, only 10 minutes from shopping, wine tasting, boating, fishing, and restaurants. No CCnR's or Dues! It does not get any better!

WOW, I appreciate the offer of $600 but, I'd have to store her someplace till I have the time or $ to restore myself, I feel sure she is worth more than that but, I know where your commin' from to help! Really I do!!!!!  That would just kill me!
As far as the papers, I just have and never did have anything!  I got her in trade years back (from the original owner 1st and only) and didn't get squat!  They "were" a great old couple!  And it was all they
 had for the work they needed, thousands more than the "best" price on the boat so I accepted and really wanted to do her up right.  Now it just is NOT going to happen!

I was told the 348 was worth around $3000 and that rest of the hardware, trailer, and hull should bring almost $3000 so I hope the reduced price of only $2250 seems fair enough to help me get over a bit of a financial wake in the pond right now. Perfect for the visionary! No papers or current reg. This has been stored a while but, would be a fantastic restoration project and turn every head at the lake or river, might even give some whiplash at 80+ mph. Really hate to see her go but, Kind of getting scared for our home and my family.

Ya never know!
If ya take one lil' bite at a time, it all brakes down to "flap A into slot B".  Patience, sweat, some money, a bit of time, descent garage & plenty of beer!  It's still here if ya change your thoughts.
Thanks for the well wishes!
