      Maybe there is just a big hole under that tarp where the interior he said it needs is supposed to be??

      He might figure no use showing somethin' that don't exist!!!

          What makes this a great deal is if that nice blue cover is included.

              I've noticed that most of the folks that post Craigslist ads aren't axactly rocket scientists...

                  I bet it went down with his old lady saying something like "get that thing out of here!"
                  Now he'll be able to say that he tried putting an ad on craigslist, but there weren't any takers.

                          'I'll take door number 3, Monty' is ok, because it doesn't cost you anything. It is a REALLY nice tarp though!

                              Considering some of the ads I've seen, that one is actually pretty good. He's literate and there actually is a picture. One last week was for a PEX crimper. Good price but he did not include any contact info.

                              The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

                                  Of what? Not of the boat... A picture of his dog would have been every bit as useful.

                                      How about a quick email. How much for the tarp that you pictured, and what size is it?
                                      She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.

                                              I know an actual rocket scientist... and other than the rocket science, the man is a complete idiot.

                                                  You can say that again.
                                                  I had a kid working for us at 16. Around the time he turned 17, his little brother took the presat and missed one question. Very "book" smart, but asked where the large light bulbs were (globe over bulb), then thought the lightbulbs were threaded wrong.

                                                  And lastly, for the best one.
                                                  He was heard wimpering, after a bad storm knocked out power for most of the day. He had been waiting for them to restore power, so he could use the toilet.
                                                  (now I know there are toilets that are hands free, and use an electric eye to flush, but this was a normal home one)
                                                  She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.
