Good deal too!
He;s been mowing an older couples lawn for about the last five years and doing errands for them etc. Well to the communities misfortune, the elderly Mr. James past away a month ago. Mrs. James had mentioned that she didn't want the boat anymore, it was taking up space and it reminded her too much of "Billy". So, my nephew inquired to her if she wanted to sell it, and she said yes, she would. He asked her how much she wanted for it, and she countered with "how much do you think it's worth? My nephew told her that it wasn't his boat it was hers. and that was a decision for her to make. "I'll tell you what. I know it's worth more than $500.00 but you've been kind to us. For you? I'd take $500.00..." So, he bought it, and promised he'd take excellent care of it. get this. 16 ft. jon boat with wheel steering . fish finder. all the tackle, rods, live well, "Sears" trolling motor , bench and front swivel seat, two batteries , trailer, and 20 hp Evinrude! Even thought it sat for about 4 years. It's going to need new batteries, lower end work (impeller and oil) He's so proud of it, and the cool part is this I told him this weekend, we'll work on it and next weekend we'll hit the river with it and see what it will do. |
