Craigslist ad that broke me up

It is a stripped V25 carcass with 3 4' holes in the hull! The only thing that is good is the pop top!

I broke out laughing when I saw the add.

still it is sad that a good vessel should end up as target practice. 'There used to be ships of wood and men of iron. Now there are ships of iron and men of wood."

Do fish on lakes like old sailboats? Maybe sink it on a reef someplace. Target practice sounds like fun though.

Would anybody pay a half million dollars for something from a poster who can't spell check the listing or use the space bar? I swear someone is running a course on "How to write ads like every other idiot on craigslist" or something, because the phraseology and punctuation seems consistent whether they're unloading a $500,000 pile of crap or a $5 pile of crap.
