Ive listed a couple of boats on gumtree.
One boat has a 70hp jonson that stutters at high revs. Probably needs a cylinder rebore. Way beyond my abilities
Anyway. People send me messages asking if I woukd sell it at a reduced price but haven't read the item description where I clearly state the engine issues.
I should just sell it to these idiot's.
But I have old fasioned morals

Random boat listings can be entertaining, but they also show why clear specs matter so much. A friend nearly wasted a weekend chasing a “perfect” cheap RIB with blurry photos and no real details, so we compared proper options on https://grandboats.com/en/info/ribs-6 instead. It helped us focus on size, layout, and safety before arranging anything. That made the search feel less like gambling and more like a sensible choice.
I try to be accurate with listings as it benefits both parties.
