Interesting Craigs List finds

I have no idea of what I am talking about, but if you read the ad he does have the name correct on it. I wonder if it's a play on words,I used to work with a guy with the last name of Bear,if he had a Bare Foot he could have used that instead too.

That part of the world still drags folks behind pickup trucks tied to ropes, shoots folks based on the color of their skin for kicks, and other crazy crapola....... The deep south has just never gotten with the program...

Their grammar and word usage should not be a surprise....[/QUOTE]

Hey Ultra,

So you are telling me there are no rednecks in the state of New York? You better look again.

Most of NY is as rural (and pretty) as it gets, but there are no rednecks. I believe the correct northern vernacular is "woodchuck".

Do stop by sometime...I have a few empty trees. It sure would be a shame to dirty up a good rope though; I'd probably never get the smell out of it.

Maybe you should look in the mirror. Your comments only reflect your true colors. You're no better than the people you are referring to. Most people that live down here are from up north anyway. I grew up in NJ. Wake up.

Chris, that 92' does look nice

Have to question his "purchased new for $44k", sounds like another pantyhose smoking session is underway, lol

oops

What did a SNOB cost new in 1992? I know there aren't many of them around, but I thnk a '92 in good shape should be well under 10 grand.

Definitely not 44k, my 99' sport/air was 35k, 05' 206 was 45k, brand new and well appointed.

If I was to guess, probably 18-23k range??

You know you look at the prices you just listed, and think about it. If I said a 2020 Air (or whatever they will call it then) will likely cost $150,000 you'd at first think I was nuts. But if you look at the price escalation, hard to argue that they will be up there.

I agree. I looked at a new 91 CB and I recall it was in the 21,000 range.

Only if you werent paying attention to begin with... we may already be at that point. Add some options to a G23 (MSRP $107,706) or G25 (MSRP $126,714) and I bet you can get to $150k.

Throw the 550 (supercharged?) in there and I'll bet you're at 150 quickly!

The Competition Ski Trainer was the factory label on the 76 Ski Tiques only. It was gone in 77 and thereafter, making it even cooler. I like it, unfortunately mine was repainted without it. There are a few other examples in the diaries.

Is it just my eyes or is there something funny with that prop. Looks to big, like there isn't even enough hull clearance for it to turn.


Looks to me like its just a funny trick of perspective. It does look like it would hit the strut though!

High as a georgia pine !
