'Gilligan's Island' boat up for sale
PARKSVILLE, British Columbia, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- The S.S. Minnow, which gained notoriety for its role on U.S. TV's "Gilligan's Island," is being sold by a Canadian boat broker for just under $100,000.
The New York Post said George Schultz is selling the 37-foot boat for $99,000 in British Columbia for its owner Scotty Taylor, who is parting with the large piece of TV memorabilia due to his increased age.
Originally built in 1960, the wooden Wheeler Express Cruiser was visible in the popular TV comedy's opening credits starting in 1964 and Taylor, its third owner, has added over $200,000 worth of refurbishments since its TV debut, the Post said.
"It's a nice boat," said Schultz of the famous vessel. "A lot of money went into this boat."

Before the storm took it back out to sea it had a pretty big hole in it.

Taylor, its third owner, has added over $200,000 worth of refurbishments since its TV debut I assume he fixed the massive hull damage.

Any Gilligan's Island discussion invariably brings up the question: Ginger or Mary Ann?

Did he repair the damage? If the Professor (who can make a radio out of a coconut) couldn't fix it....I doubt anyone else could :o).
