I've owned 4 McKees, one that had an engine that ran. What Spare said is all true. The one I had that ran wasn't waterlogged and was still heavy for a 14 ft boat. Another 14 I had took 5 guys, 2 of them literally sumo wrestler size to load onto my trailer with my wife cranking the winch. Soaked to the brim. Reel had a Southporter model which is the dual console version with the same hull as the one in your first post. He always chimes in and says they ride rough. I gave away one like the one in your ad once. Even with the rough shape it was in I could have slapped a boston whaler sticker on the side and gotten $3500 multiple times from someone who didn't know the difference. All that being said, they are cool boats though I think.

After a nuclear war all that will be left is radiation, cockroaches, and old McKee Craft hulls.
