I been calling on some boats for sale and are these people that @/$:mad:;” stupid. Who puts a add up with no hours no motor info or anything. This shit is ridiculous. If I was selling something I would put that info just to cut back on the calls and text for the info.

Many reputable builders have said don't even crack the valve covers until 500-600 if they have been well cared for, and leakdown/compression is solid.

About as helpful as toy hauler owners not listing cargo length or generator hours.
Common sense is rarely common...

Craigslist and other sites can be a pain.

Didn't a lot of people on here including myself reply to your last thread about searching for a wake boat? Not only did I offer more than once to help you find something and give guidance, many others chimed in as well. Did you contact anyone who offered to help? There are a lot of great members on here that could probably help or know someone that have a wake boat for sale.

Not only that, there are trustworthy vendors on here that deal in used boats including wake sports stuff; they might be worth a shot.

* Is there a particular brand you are looking for?
* Year?
* Just general wake sports or do you want to surf with the boat?
* Price range?
* I assume pre-owned since you are calling private party sellers? Your first post about purchasing a wake boat led me to believe you were looking for new.

Two thoughts here.
1. Some people think without all the details it'll coerce you to call them.
2. Others are key turners and have no real clue about their shit.

My boss always says "If everybody was as smart as you, you wouldn't have a job". Take it for what it is. I've made plenty of money on CL from people who don't know how to write a good sales listing.

There’s that Centaurian that’s in the classifieds. I know the previous/original owner and he took great care of it and it’s was in perfect shape. The owner now only had it a over the summer so I’m sure it’s still really nice.

And the term “excellent condition” has numerous interpretations. Another thing that pisses me off is the people may take care of the boat but why not the trailer?

I think when you are searching thru a site that does free listing you should be prepared for lots of bs.
