| One late winter nite I traded a recently-totaled '04 Ford Explorer for a mid 80's Astro bass boat with a bad ass 150 Merc on the back. The motor was good, the trailer was fine, but it turned out the boat was broke. Specifically, the one-hull boat had a cracked transom. (Previous owner failed to ensure water did not enter and rot the wood back there.) That boat boat/motor combo does over 70mph, very powerful, very heavy and with a cracked transom very unsafe. Last fall I sold the whole rig for $500 to a local kid as a winter project for him and his dad. I learned a couple weeks ago that the dad sold the rig to some stranger without telling the buyer about the cracked transom. | |
