Due to the bad economy, I can no longer afford to fill up the diesel tanks on this thing and pay my crew. Therefore, I am forced to sell my 1977 Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. New paint and propellors. 22 knots max. Looking for around $2,000,000 or best offer. No pirates or scammers.

Has it been in any accidents?

Sounds like a bargain. The Chicoms would pay a lot more, I’m sure.

Reminds me of the old motto for the GW Washington: “90,000 tons of diplomacy, anytime, anywhere.”

I don’t have the carfax, but I have a note from the original owner promising that it was never in an accident.

No carfax.

But, it’s a promise.

There’s a letter in the glovebox from the little old lady who used to own it. Says she only took it out on Sunday mornings for Church.

There’s a 16 year old SoCal girl looking for a new boat. I’m sure this is a size she can easily manage. Her father will contact you as soon as they can gather a few sponsors.

Wouldn’t you love to see something that size behind a Kenworth going down a freeway?

Of course, the relative scale would be an ant towing an elephant, but, heck, the visual aspect is quite appealing.

If I buy a new boat it needs to have a fish finder and rod holders.
