My wife Terry and I purchased "Hooch" this past May, 2010 in Virginia. We looked at several 53's and reviewed many more electronically but She was clearly in the most outstanding condition. She surveyed "Above Average" and having owned boats all our lives we are pleased to find her in such great shape. We will be doing some minor upgrades and look forward to cruising her on the Chesapeake Bay in the spring and fall and points north in the summer. Justin and Terry McCarthy
