Chuck,

You've got a better eye than I do. In the pic from the original
post, the portholes are round. At the Gilligan's island website, I only
see boats with rectangular portholes (or none). Would someone 'restore'
a boat and make such a change?

Hey it turns out a guy up here has the boat that was in the opening shots
of Gilligans island. Been all over the evening news...

And it really is listed:

No connection with seller ...


And not to pee on the guy's parade, but the only time this particular
boat was ever seen on TV was in a long-distance, split second view of a
boat motoring out past a breakwater
in the opening credits beginning with the second season. That shot was
filmed at Marina del Rey, which should surprise no one at all, and the
boat was rented by the hour from its owner. Yes, it was "a" Minnow, but
not *the* Minnow most people would assume when hearing the name.

There were a total of four boats used in the filming of Gilligan's
Island. One was not actually a boat, but just a studio prop. TV
audiences must have been fairly unsophisticated 45 years ago (what
could be unsophisticated about watching Gilligan's Island?), as there
is only a cursory resemblance between the four boats.

So the seller's claim is true, but could be misleading. This boat was
never seen close up, or washed up on the beach, etc, like the others in
the TV series were.

No way is this boat worth $100k, IMO, split second appearance in
Gilligan's Island not withstanding.

You may want to compare the number of my posts and the number of your posts.
Rec.boats isn't my life, as it apparently is for many of the posters here.
What's the matter Bill, don't like that image in the mirror?

Watch out, you're now a target for JimH's monthly period bipolar

That's what you get for saying something that he doesn't agree with
