I keep seeing the promos for this Sunday's episode of "Pawn Stars" the new reality series on The History Channel. Some guy is trying to pawn his '84 Chris Craft - Stinger or Scorpion (I didn't get a good enough look to see for sure) he is asking about $20k for it in the promo - apparently one of the shop owner's sons ends up taking it (for less, I am sure). :rolleyes:

Sign of the times or not, should be amusing. Maybe someone will recognize the owner...
 
It looked like a 260 stinger. I had an 87.
He asked 25 grand in the promo.

It is worth 10k if it runs well.

I saw where they took it to a marina and the guy there said it was a classic and was worth 30 g. Dang I might have to take my boat out there and sell it for 100K:26::26::26:
 
There's a show on the National Geographic channel about a repo man. They had to repo a late 80s 20 something Baja. It was in north Jersey. It looked JUST like the a boat that was for sale outside the Headliner in Neptune City, NJ about 6 or so years back.
 
I was gonna start a thread about this very thing today. I keeled over laughing when the boat repair guy said " Its a classic " Miami Vice boat easily worth 30k+". Wasn't all that long ago when someone on the board was GIVING AWAY a 312 Stinger that had sunk at the dock and had been refloated and was in not bad shape.
 
Classic cutting edge design, all the other boats wish they were Chris Craft ROFLMAO hahahahahahaha. He paid 16k and "only" had to put 4k into it , on a 10k boat hahahahahaha.......

I was half asleep during the show but looks like he got hosed on the 4K worth of basic maintance items and a good cleaning. Nothing better could happen to a pawn shop owner
 
It was great watching those guys get hosed. Especially the middle one that thinks he is such a bad ass I hate people like that guy....

He first bought a pistol for 300 dollars only to find out that it was unuseable and he had gotten taken for a ride, then the bought this boat..... I hope he loses his ass on that thing....
 
Yeah big deal experts getting fleeced every time they turn around, first and last time I will waste any time on that POS. Guess I gotta go back to the fat pierced chick repo'ing cars :D
 
i started laughing like crazy watching that and hearing how someone would pay 30k for that boat. and 4k for a tune up, cleaning and repair of one of the trim pumps? :rofl: maybe it needed more work then he is admitting. btw, does anyone buy a boat without test driving it? the middle one was right, the young one isnt ready to run that business.
 
Oh and about the Chris Craft...I caught the end of it and to be honest the boat came out pretty nice. Yeah, I know the 30k plus was way out there, but it cleaned up pretty good.
 
Anyone notice that they cleaned the boat up (acid wash and wax). It looked clean, no more grunge line.

Then they say, hey wanna go for a ride, everyone says sure. Then the video of the test ride has the chit on the bottom of the boat again.

Interesting. Can they really be that stupid, was the boat really that bad? Looks like there was some editing done for sure.
