Any intrest in Classic Ads from Florida Sportsman?

I have every copy of Florida Sportsman starting Jan 1970. There are full page ads for all of the classics. There are a few "dream boat" articles for the 23' open, Tsunami and the 27'. I can complie, scan and submit for the site.

I would like to see a "dream boat" article done on a 20'. All of us who have restored a 20' and have great pictures should contact FS.

Red20,
I'm answering for Trayder, the administrator, but I think he'll agree - yes, having those ads would be great. I had offered a couple times to do the same with SC ads from Saltwater Sportsman, since my father has every issue since 1970 also. However, I just haven't put aside the time to grab the boxes out of his house and scan the images.

Please do contact Trayder as that would be a great asset to this site. I would love to see old articles on these great boats.

Even if there are no articles for the 20, I'd love to have a few high res scans of ads for mine, a 1979 20 Master Angler. I'd be happy to supply the blank CDs and pay for postage

I also have an Epson 3170 photo scanner so I could do the scanning if needed.

I have almost cleared my garage so I can get to my mags. Had all of the blow aways stored for the hurricane. If memory serves me there is an add for the 20' MA. Yellow hull I think. I'll reply once I get them together.

Red20,
I would be interested in the one with the 27 Dream Boat article. As I am currently rebuilding one of my own.
