The boat is here in St Pete. I will get some current pics next week.

This guy claims it's this one in MD.

Interesting photos: I guess if you want to catch a picture of a fish, you use a picture of a rod.

This boat looks like it needs an entire exterior paint job. Not a small task to say the least.

And it comes with a sailboat to assist with anchoring.

I've always liked Strikers and came close to buying one that needed a total refit. The deal breaker was the paint. This boat had paint peeling from the hull so it was a major job. Cost to do it right was more than double that of a glass boat. I ended up buying my 46C a year later. Much better fit for me.

it seems to be hard to get paint to stay on, too, even if you use all the tie coats and adhesion promoters that AwlGrip says to use. I've seen Burgers that were recently painted and the paint was already blistering.

They are very sturdy boats, but so is a Hatteras, and they are a lot easier to work on and keep maintained.

Most people forget that commercial boats have low level crew doing their time that consists mainly of chipping and painting.
