What a gorgeous boat. I love the old Mistresses with the teak decks/floors. Are there any differences between them and the later ones?

I personally prefer the windscreen and no vents on the side of the bow...but that's me... the teak looks great on that boat....

It's a really nice boat. Jim never beats or mistreats that boat.

I think its a nice buy if your looking for a turn key classic....most of the work is done.

Maybe bigger power if you wanted something faster however I think that would be it.

A Mistress with reasonably large power and #3s would be an awesome old-school ride. I wouldn't be able to afford the fuel bill, but anyway...

Truer words have never been spoken. They can get out of hand in a hurry. This one is a nice one. Bigger power is all it would need for me.

Here is a few pic's of Jim's [motownjim,,,, here on OSO] Cig @ the old school reunion this year. This Cig is so nice it does not need big power.
