Yep, there is a serious shortage of 1977 classics.

But this line in the ad really got my attention.

Catch large stripers...even strippers!!

Seriously though, not too bad for $23K at a glance. Especially if you like that "classic yacht" look. :-)

I've hooked a few "large strippers" in my "fishing" experiences. Most were not "keepers", and were quickly determined to be in the "catch & release" category.

But, regarding this initially attractive boat, and the ad, what is so shunned about this opportunity, why do you guys figure that these ads on this tub have been around for so long, and what cautions would you voice to someone who would "stick one's toes in this water"?

Just Curious,
Aarrrgh!

I will give it credit for a good sales pitch.
