This Wheeler was the twin-diesel cruiser seen in the opening segment of the Gilligan's Island TV show of the 1960s. The SS Minnow name was adopted from the last name of a Washington bureaucrat who controlled the FCC.

The recent purchase and restoration of that 36-footer was about double its original cost. The whole story below.
