TOPIC: huge boat junk yard

This place looks like it has tons of vintage boats, too bad there in Georgia. The 1969 Cacci Craft EL Tiburon MKII looks really cool. www.laniermarine.com/pre_owned_list.asp?GroupBy=&newused=B&mfg=0&category=0&TypeID=0&ModelYearFrom=1942&ModelYearThru=1969&PriceFrom=&PriceThru=&lengthMin=&lengthMax=&feetmeters=feet&s=search&industry=2&page=3

Just be aware that they ^^^ can be difficult to deal w/, esp via email & phone calls.

In person, it could go either way. Often expensive for a bare & or nearly stripped project boat. And trailers & motors aren't reasonable either.

Your experience may be different.

Either way, anyone who buys or attempts to buy stuff from them, post up the what & how it goes....

DO NOT deal with this place. They have about the worst reputation in the business.

They have total crapola, want a fortune for it and the photos they show are YEARS old. I went there to look at a Chris Craft Deluxe Enclosed cruiser which looked good in the photos. When I got there, it was a pile of rotten wood that had long ago collapsed under it's own weight...and they wanted $3,500 for it !!!! Check out this CURRENT ad for the SAME BOAT:

Judging by what I found, that photo has to be AT LEAST 10 YEARS OLD! I should have taken a photo of it the way I found it...and that was two years ago! No one...and I mean no one...can restore that boat without a 99% replacement of ALL the wood.

I have never seen such a case of misrepresentation. They couldn't sell me dollar bills for a quarter. STAY AWAY!
