yachtworld.com will have nearly all the brokerage boats- but only
brokerage boats- so if you are looking for something rather small or
modestly priced it is unlikely to show up there.

Private parties often advertise on Craigslist (typically the real el-
cheapo "garage sale" sort of fixer uppers- but there are exceptions).

Boat Trader now owns Yachtworld (if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em) and
has started another site that accepts private party advertising:
www.boats.com

Then there is always traderonline.com

to change the subject a little. Saw on tonight's news where someone posted
an ad on Craigslist that everything in a house was available for free.
People showed up removed windows, sinks, etc. Craigslist says the person
has to get a court order to find out who posted the ad. The owner of the
rental figures was the last tenant that got evicted.

fyi: I want a 17-20' runabout or cuddy for under 10k, preferably under 5k
but for the right boat, I'd step up. living in central Indiana, i am
realistic about how often i will use it... maybe 6-10 times a year. I work
most Saturdays & the nearest lake is Freeman/ Schafer both small dirty &
small , 1/2 hour away. Raccoon is about twice as far & also pretty small but
at least clean. :-)

thanks for all the replies

I bought both my boats on Ebay. (in the fall when the market is
slumped)

And have been very satisfied with my purchases.

Also one thing about Ebay, is that you can type in your zip code, and
"distance nearest first" and target boats closest to you. It worked
for me...

Why would anyone need a boat in Derby, Kansas?

P.S. Drove an F350 diesel yesterday. Long bed. Won't fit in my garage,
would have to live in the old barn. I could cut a few feet off the bed,
I suppose...

Why do you want/need a big, diesel truck anyway? I bought mine because it
was the only SRW truck that could tow what I wanted to tow at the time.
(Don't like "dualies").

Now that I don't need to tow anything that heavy I am seriously thinking of
replacing it ... if I can find something I like.

I don't have a need for one. A friend of mine has one he uses to haul
around his motorcycle trailer. He's got a covered walk-in trailer that
holds his three motorcycles, tools, and a pretty complete mini machine
shop. He came over last night with the truck, sans trailer, and I
borrowed it for a quick ride.

Do you haul Mrs. E's horsies around? If not, maybe you don't need a
truck at all.

It is very rare that we trailer the horses although the horse trailer is
very handy for making runs to Lowes or occasionally trailering a motorcycle
or something. Mrs. E. has one of those Lincoln Mark something pickups ....
basically a dolled up Ford F-150 that could tow the horse trailer. The only
other thing I occasionally tow is the car trailer with something on it, but
the Lincoln could handle that as well ... for relatively short distances
anyway. If I were to make another hauling trip like the one I did to
Denver, I'd much prefer the F-350, but it's unlikely a trip like that will
come up again.

If you're not looking for anything flashy and just want to get on the water
at minimal cost, I have a 1977 Thunderbird S-18 that might suit you. The

Don't tell Chuck - he thinks there is a huge market for $10,000
Bayliners.

Some particular reason you think you need to be a confrontational

Not so.

Cambridge Dictionary of American English, 1999 edition, page 673.

Three definitions for "prick"

one has to do with making holes

one has to do with a body part

the appropriate one, in this case is the third:

prick, (man)/prik/n [C] rude slang: a man you do not like. "She hated
this curly-haired, egotistical prick."

When Tom takes an unprovoked shot at me, he is behaving as if he were
a "rude and unlikable" confrontational prick. Prick is commony used to
describe people without incorporating any reference to a penis.

Perhaps you have a potty mind? Perhaps you haven't come across the
word anywhere except a partition in a bathroom stall?

You need to consult a better dictionary. I recall sending you one.

Works like this JimH:

Don't make snarky remarks about me in conversations where I'm not
involved and you'll find I have a lot more important things to do than
go hunting for the
handful of insult specialists that infect the NG. Live and let live.
You'll need to look long and hard for any rare examples of me dropping
your name, Harry's name, Tom's name or the name of anybody else in
threads they aren't involved in- especially in a critical way. I
almost never do it, and expect the same consideration in return.

Tom would have been disappointed if he thought I hadn't noticed the
mudball he
so deliberately prepared. He hoped to provoke a response, and did.

It's amazing that anybody thinks responding with "Any particular
reason you think you need to be a confrontational prick?" is an
egregious breach of etiquette, yet the original unprovoked personal
remark is
considered entirely acceptable.

You and Harry (who dislikes my choice of dictionary) can go to
whatever dictionaries you prefer and look up "double standard". :-)
