It's a Chapparal 260 Signature, looks brand new.The props have been clouted and I'd be very surprised if there's no hull damage. Umm, car dealer or window salesman, what d'ya reckon?

Obviously was ordering a Martini at the time and said he wanted it on the Rocks. Hope they can re-float it off the Rocks at high tide.
