This has nothing to do with FSX but I thought you might like it anyway. It's kinda rare.
I went to Publix this morning to get an eclair for breakfast and there was a light drizzle. As I walked out I looked out across the parking lot and on a trailer was what looked like a Cris Craft boat ........ Naw... ain't one been made since the 50's or 60's. I drove over and guess what? It Was a Cris- Craft. A 1955 Cris Craft Cobra. As I walked around it I almost cried... How often do you see something like this?
This ain't no fiberglass with a veneer. That's Teak planking!

Wow that brings back some memories,There used to be an old lake park close to me that had two of those they gave rides in for .50 cents .They had Dodge Hemi inboards in them and were pretty fast.
