Unless it's a Moesly 21 that that you've only seen in thumbnail pics that is 2000 miles away

Okay, that may be a valid exception. Maybe a 27' Seamaster, 27' SeaVilla, or (especially) a 27' SeaVette, too. Depending on what day you talk to Carl, they only made either 3 or 7 of the 27' SeaVettes

No, but my grandfather was an exotic car collector, and multi-millionaire real-estate developer. He taught me how to buy and sell. Funny thing is, in every case I revealed the complete truth about every known defect about every vehicle or vessel, and never, never pushed anyone to buy. I have, however, pushed people to sell

The Merak was ugly but hey - it was a Maserati... the Suncruiser - well I'm gonna guess you were under the influence...

The Maserati was beautiful, not ugly, but still a POS.
I couldn't keep it running to save my wallet! I bought it to impress a woman I shouldn't have been trying to impress. (That's not mine, just a photo of one off the net)
The Wellcraft 255 Suncruiser was an attempt to make my affianced happier about spending so much time on the water. She died about 6 weeks after I bought it. After her death I simply sold it as fast as possible.
