It's what you get when you want to go fishing but the Admiral wants something she and the kids will enjoy and where she can entertain fellow Admirals...

All that comes to mind is, "It ain't very fast, but it sure is ugly!"

I remember when those boats came on the market in the 70's! They were supposed to be the ideal blend between a boat and a houseboat, but they were ugly!
Looking for my next boat!

Guy's,
I think this thing was built by McGreggor it was supposed to be a trailer able weekender but was ugly as hell. The best thing to do with this bucket of mold, with OMC(Oh My Christ) outdrives, is to donate it to the local fire department for a training burn.

Usually I can find a redeeming quality in any boat if the owner asked me aboard for a cold one...or just got to talking. I would be hard pressed to come up with anything nice to say about that one....maybe the boarding ladder is kinda nice.

Seems like they took the worst attributes from every boat and compiled it into that...
