Answers to questions asked by Craig's List "lookers."
Yes, the Four Winns is still for sale, as of 4 July, 8:30 pm.
Yes, the trailer pictured is included. (with three good
mounted tires.)
The "capacity label" is no longer on the boat, but I believe the boat was/is rated at 7 people.
There is NO soft wood or rot. 3/4 inch wood floor hatch
cover is new, as is rear bench and hatch. Please see photos.
Bow cushions and stern bench seat cushions are all new,
all rebuilt by me.
The boat is garaged in Byrnes Mill, Missouri.
(About 9 miles west of I-270 and Mo. 30.)
An "after market" (not original) service manual is included. (I have not found it very helpful, but can tell you about people who really know their stuff.)
Three props are included. Two "stock" and one "ski" pitch,
although I've skied behind all three props. Positive battery cable
is servicable, but as soon as I find one of the correct
length, it will be replaced (or remade.)
Boat has been serviced and is ready for use right now.
Gas filter/water seperator was replaced this Spring and
an extra new one goes with boat. Never had a problem with
these units.

I will be with boat Tuesday afternoon, July 5.
Boat was listed on Craig's List in St. Louis, Kansas City
and Springfield, IL. I've heard from lookers in all 3 markets.
I'll probably have boat on the Mississippi River or Lake Carlyle later this week.
I'm selling at this low price because I intend to buy another, older boat that needs lots of TLC and I don't have room to store two boats inside.
