    Default SS Minnow For Sale?

    This ad, for a 1964 37-ft Wheeler Express Cruiser, claims that it was the original SS MINNOW from the TV show Gilligan's Island.

    He knew Mary Ann would ditch him fast if they ever got back to civilization.

    IIRC there were four boats used as the Minnow over the length of the series. This could be one of them, but I'd want more than that video clip to establish providence for the claim.

    Even if it isn't the TV star, it might be a great boat!

    If Providence had been with her, we may never have had Gilligan.
