Thanks [Phil]. I called a local marina with a very reputable fiberglass shop for a ballpark estimate to fix this, and they quoted $4,500.

So, if I end up with the boat, I'll be doing the repair myself.

John_Madison CT

I'm looking at an older 25' Whaler and the hatch covering the fuel tank has too much flex, is clearly rotten, and needs to be fixed. I tried the search function here but couldn't find much on it, but I'm not sure I'm using the proper search words. Is there a thread, or a place that you guys can poin...

My 1989 Outrage 25 Cuddy with Whaler Drive is currently powered with twin original Johnson 150-HP outboards. I eventually plan on re-powering with a single outboard, probably a single 300-HP four-stroke-power-cycle engine. Even though these 1989 Johnson 150 engines are quite light for their horsepow...

I don't understand........you have a price in mind, but won't post it?

I have a price in mind to offer.......but rather not reveal it. : ))

John_Madison CT

I have one available. It's still on the top piece of wood from the console. I haven't had time to take it off yet.

I also have the rest of the steering components.

IMO, that Radar arch is a terrible design. You've so destroyed the fishing room in the cockpit. Why not just put up Tee Top?

Hi Dan. I remember you from way back!

John_Madison CT

One of the biggest "sayings" that are full of $hit is........"you get what you pay for"......

John_Madison CT

No problem with the weight. My buddy has that exact boat, a Yamaha F250 on Whaler 22 with Whaler Drive. I have a 25' Outrage Cuddy with Whaler Drive and considering going to a single 300-HP four-stroke-power-cycle engine from twin Johnson 150-HP two-stroke-power-cycle engines .

John_Madison CT

I've ordered from Marinepartdepot.com before. You'll eventually get what you ordered, but in at least 20 attempts, I've never received either an email or phone reply.

They simply won't respond.

The only way you'll get attention is to dispute a Paypal payment and file a claim.

The 13' Whaler is a great boat, but the 15' is even better. The ride is significantly better, less pounding.

John_Madison CT

What does thoroughly "was" mean?

Just keeping in the spirit of spelling and grammatical accuracy. : )

John_Madison CT

Took the new 15' out for her maiden voyage. With myself and girlfriend, she hit 32mph. The engine is mounted all the way down, so perhaps the 48hp can be raised, but there's no tach onboard so I don't know if it's the right prop..

All in all, not bad.

At one point last year I owned a [1966 13-footer], a [1986 15-footer] and an [1989 25-footer]. The two smaller ones were sold last winter, and i was down to one. Well. that changed already. I just bought a 15-footer, a 1977 with a [1996] Johnson 48-HP for $2,500. Trailer is two-years-old and, on the...

John_Madison CT

Just a bit of advise:

1. Post location
2. Add a lot more detail. (i.e. year of motor, engine pics, etc etc....)

John_Madison CT

Post location.

John_Madison CT

Without pics and more detail, probably under $2000. Maybe less. An engine that old with low compression has little value.

I would have assumed Tom was a sour curmudgeon based on some of his posts, but I'm happy to see him smile.

Yasou Fotis!! I'm a Greek-American with family roots in Kefalonia.

Finding a used Whaler Drive is very very hard. I don't think you'll find one. Are you sure the stress cracks aren't just cosmetic?

When I re-powered my 25' Outrage Whaler Drive, currently with twin 1989 Johnson 150 engine, I'm leaning toward a single 300-HP.

John_Madison CT

The fuel tank in my 25" Outrage is original. ('89) . I originally bought the boat, then resold it for a profit, but to make a long story short, bought it back. The guy who owned it for a few months did some really nice improvements, one being a drain in the fuel tank cavity. It's simply a PVC p...

Many moons ago I used to sell Acetone. I remember visiting the Whaler Rockland plant moments after they just told the employees that the were closing the plant. I'm guessing that was around 1990. I felt terrible for them.

I'd love to post pics, but it's rather annoying and cumbersome on this website.

If interested, they're in this Ebay ad:

You shouldn't have any problem towing a 13' Whaler.

I just repowered my 1990 Outrage 25 WhalerDrive with twin 150 counter rotating Hondas. I can't comment on performance as I will not launch for a few more weeks. Let us know about the repower.

I get group 29 deep cycle batteries from Advance Auto for around $90. Regular, reliable lead acid. I don't see the real gains going with these expensive ones.

I've owned this for a long time and have too many projects going on, so time to move on. 1967 Boston Whaler 13'. Hull is dry and in decent shape. Some typical gel coat crazing, but solid.

What was wrong with the 90-HP? Those are very reliable motors.

[Moderator's note: I think what is being suggested here is the original engine ought to be repaired instead of replaced--jimh]

If you apply Woody Wax to a hull, you'll see similar results. But a lot more money than gear oil.
