Default Bushs Fountain for sale

A boat with an interesting history for sale by auction. Pretty cool. Does being an late US Presidents boat raise its value?

Almost appears that Cheney may have been riding Shotgun throttling that day as senior instructed junior how to inconspicuously pull into the local bar .

Update - Boat sold for $435K to an anonymous bidder. Certainly a lot more than this boat would sell for without the history.

Maybe it had some leftover classified documents and Contra weapons left in it!

I'd rather have the original Fidelity Cigarette.

I believe the proceeds from the sale went to the Bush Foundation. I'm guessing a tax write off for the buyer.
