I met a guy one day on the river by my house. [Susqahana River by Binghamton NY.] He flagged me down. I stopped and he says WoW I haven't seen a Stevens in years.
He went on to explain that him and two friends in 1973 all bought 17 ft Stevens. They were all small block powered. The funny part about his story is that the boats were all shipped by airplane. He claimed that they were flown into Scranton PA airport in a transport plane of some kind. I thought that was kinda strange.
