nadinesmom Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 1970 17 ft Whaler... Gonna have to rent somewhere to park it since I've already got a bass boat. I've been wanting to get into the salt more and this deal was waaaaaaaaaaay too good to ever pass up. 46 years old and still an awesome boat. Any Whaler owners out there? collin117 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin08261985 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 My dad has the exact same boat, except it's a '72 - he bought it new. For a small boat, it handles rough water surprisingly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadinesmom Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Does your dad's have the mahogany wood? I've got a buddy who is going to restain it and build a deck for it... I want it to have that vintage feel like the one here... It has potential!

kevin08261985 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 He replaced the bench (I think he still has it in his basement) with a box and painted the console white probably 30+ years ago and took the windshield off 15 or so years ago. Seeing that pic of everything restained looks awesome. Good luck with the refurbishments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
