That certainly looks like his Dealership on the Eastern Shore back in the day

That boat never left a 5 mile radius on the trailer. That strap is just there for decoration so the local police don't pull them over for a BS ticket.
I agree that's not the right way to tie down the transom of a boat.

The price hurts the check book.

I just can't get over a 30 year old boat is going for MORE than a ten year old boat was going for 5 years ago! CRAZY times!

And I do agree, the paint is definitely subject to opinion.

Oh, I know it's crazy nice. No doubt. And more power to 'em. There was a time, not long ago I felt there was no straight bottom gun worth over a 100k sans a VERY few (#6 boats) that I felt were worth over 100k (but not much!). Of course this was over 5 years ago when you could find a TS Gun for 125 -135 all day.

Again, the market is just crazy.
