Too good to be true?

Gentlemen,

Brian Miller was kind enough to post 2 ads he saw in Baltimore. One was listed a 71 19' cuddy I/O, trailer. I saw the post Thursday morning and was in Baltimore by Midnight after a 5 hr. drive.

By 7:30 AM Friday, money changed hands and we were hooking up a 1971 20' SeaFari, 4 cyl. Merc I/O with "reconditioned" outdrive sitting in the cockpit. Almost unbelievably, this boat is an almost all original 71 with 153 hours! I mean, can that be right? The floor and deck feel solid, but the transome will need a complete replacement. It's a perfect project boat that might have a season or 2 left in her.








The trailer is the original 1971 dual axle trailer with very questionable rubber. But it actually rode very well for the 350 mile ride home.
