I drove out to "Pine Island" Louisiana to see one of these. From a distance it was perfect, on a trailer, no bottom paint, dual outboard bracket, no engines. The when I hopped up on the fender to get in, the boat was level full of water. The drain plug was glassed over when outboard conversion was done. It was a 26' aquarium, what a waste.

I've wanted one for decades, but $4 a gallon gas has changed that.

Never thought of it that way. It really hurt to walk away from that boat, externally it was perfect down to the glass and hardware, but every piece of structural wood in the boat was soaked through. It had been full long enough to have a good crop of marine creatures. That one was originally powered with 165 MerCruisers and had been converted to 200 Merc's on a bracket. The owner said he liked the handling better with the I/O's.

This particular line in the advertising caught my attention!!!
