This is my ad he replied too........

5 minutes after I posted this the G- mail scammers started, gezzz Craigslist will you take care of these scammers


I bought this boat and saw the repairs and additions. As I started peeling back the layers. AMAZING, the time they spent to hide the problems. I don't just get these boats and sand them and paint. I couldn't do this if I had to pay retail for something someone just drug out of the weeds or their barn...... I put SO much work into making these look new!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOEVER, made some floor boards to hide the damage. They didnt evn prep the area to do the glass work. I cut a hole in their floorboards and grabed them and they yanked right out, glass and all. The chins on this boat were worn through. Starboard side had a 2 foot hole worn through. They just galassed ONE layer on the outside, built the floors to hide the holes on the inside. I tore all their crap out and prepped and repairs the hole from the inside. 3 layers of matt glass with a final layer with cloth, so it blended in pretty good. As seen in the pics , ONE thing they did was glass in a piece of plywood in the side walls centered under the oar locks. GREAT idea. Really stiffened up the sideways. I left it............ALL livingston's should have extra support in the sidewalls..........

After all the interior repairs I did , I put one layer of cloth on the outside of the chins. Only thing I can figured they wore them out putting it in their truck and dragging it back out. A 1-' boat will fit in a full sized truck but the chins will ride on the inner fender humps.........


My outside repairs are visible if you look close. When boat is in the water you dont see them LOL.

I replaced the transom wood and added diamond plate aluminum plate inside and out. Everything I repaired or did is twice as good and strong as the original.

I have 24 hours into this boat $840, My time is worth $35 an hour, which is cheap for boat restoration. .Brand new in 2017 , they sold for $2900.. I was going to bury it halfway in the ground and put flowers in it with a sign REST IN PEACE. After I settled down I started the work.

I will post all the pics, so you can see what I had to go through on this one...........I will ask the same as all my other 10'ers. $650 FIRM!!!!!!!!!!! I taped off the registration numbers, the livingston stickers and the hull ID number. Normally I just sand them off and make the WHOLE boat look new..........


Dont waste my time please I put too much into fixing these boats up........ Serious buyers ONLY.................Give a call or email me and Come look at it and I will answer your questions............No silly text......... Thank you for your time............

AND I used a water based ext acrylic on the inside. Though stuff they say with lifetime warranty!!!!!!!!! I was getting tired of high visibility blue LOL.........
