Your Very Own Passenger Ferry

Any Seattlest readers in the market for their very own Washington State Ferry? If so, you can head on over to EBay and make a bid on the decommissioned Chinook Passenger Ferry. (Guess you really can find everything on EBay!)

The Chinook was posted on the site late Thursday night, with an asking price of $4.5 million dollars. The auction for the ferry will remain open to bidders until February 24th. The ferry's condition is listed as "used" and it is noted the ferry is in need of an exterior paint job and an engine overhaul.

Believe it or not, this is not the first time Washington State has tried to sell a boat on the e-market site. In 2003, the state sold the ferry Tyee successfully on EBay to a Florida based boat broker.
