I agree, I looked at it yesturday. Not only are the number of windows wrong, they are the wrong shape. Also not that on the boat for sale there is a set of windows faceing foward towards the front of the bow, I could not find those windos at all in the pics of the SS minow. And finally, the aft shape of the cabing is quite different. I wonder where the "real" Minow is???

[Her454]

So I wonder what their claim to fame documentation is?

Plus, if the real SS Minow had a 10' dinghy they would have been able to get off the island. :idea:

After reading the history, I am still not sure that it is the same boat. You would think that even if they used 4 different boats, they would be the "same" boat. In all of the "Gilligan's" pics, the aft section of the cabin is curved, in the boat for sale, is uses straight lines, then angles sharply back. Who knows?????

Yep, and by the looks of the pics on this website, the one for sale isn't any of 'em. What a bunch of crap!!!
Now.....speaking of tiny ships being tossed.....there's been days on Havi when I didn't think we would make it out alive on my old 18 foot O/B Cheetah. Come to think of it, there are days that scare me in a 23ft Lavey!

My FIL used to own the old (west coast) Sea Hunt boat...what a POS it was, he had to replace loads of rotten wood.
