Early last summer I had the opportunity to pick up a 15' runabout pretty cheep. it needed a bit of work, but I figured maybe we would use it for fishing or just putting around the lake in the winter months. I fixed it up and used it one time, late last fall. I had a nice carport to put it under, but it just sat there and gathered dust.
meanwile,.... all winter long I was also looking at our poor Merit out under the trees with a blue tarp over it, so last week I couldn't take it anymore and put the Larson on CL with a fairly high price and very low expectations. but within an hour of posting the add I had three inquires, the first in line came over and gleefully handed me cash for it
. perhaps folks are looking to buy now, thinking there might be some bargains out there with so many out of work??? I was quite shocked, but also quite happy, to say the least. I made decent money on the deal and the new owner was thrilled also, so a win win.
with the Larson out of the carport, I picked up some cinder blocks and used them to raise the carport up 8", so the Merit can have a more comfortable home. I think it's much happier there, without that ugly blue tarp over it, and I know I'm much happier having it under a better cover.
