Eagleman - Ugh! I've been working with Sue at Twin Cities for months on the same question with no luck for my 1990 Revenge-22' W.T. I punted and have carefully added some black silicone caulk. Disappointing, but the best I can do with limited resources. Taylor Made provided some info and some drawin...

JimH - I try to keep up with all notifications but as you mentioned you must be logged in to see them. I don't always log in when visiting. I just checked my "Board Preferences" in my "account" and didn't have the "Email" boxes checked for the "Edit Notification Op...

Boat was in Friday Harbor... and sold.

Maybe another boat will come along.

Thanks.

Binks -

Exactly my fear.

Confession, she's not a Whaler, but a larger Pursuit for cruising. Not much available around here. Very sad that I missed out on the Whaler 31 only 132-miles away.

Many discussions here on purchasing a boat from a long-distance away. It usually involves a lot of time, coordination, and money. I’m currently in a unique situation living in Southeast Alaska and looking at a boat in the Seattle area, 1,000 miles away via air (rent a car, motel, etc.). I can’t driv...

jimh - Maybe the world has flip-flopped. I put the snowblower away 3-weeks ago as our last snowfall was early Feb. Uncovered the Revenge this past weekend. Had lunch on the front stoop last Sunday in the sunshine and 62F. Got the yard all cleaned up from winter debris. My neighbor MOWED his lawn. At...

Come on north JimH to 58N. In late June the sunsets at 2207 and sunrise at 0350. We really enjoy the longer days. As an aside, Juneau has only received 2" of snowfall since December 31 (34.9" total for the winter). Already put the snowblower and shovels away. Getting ready to take the cove...

Butch--the later models, after 1963, had the finger hole instead of the handles; my brother-in-law's boat had the finger hole and was a late 1960s model, a 1967 or 1968. We never figured out the bungee to secure the cover. It would have run it down through the drain hole and clogged that, defeating ...

jimp

Butch--No. The handles were on top. The cover was recessed into the bow locker and wouldn't slide around. Also, no hole in the cover to lift it up if the handles were down.

jimp

specracer--Same handles we had on the 1963.

jimp

Additionally, what do you want to emphasize in the picture? In this case, the engines.

jimp

Sorry Whaler Friends, this should get JimH calculating. Also for those winter doldrums (a state or period of inactivity). So in the long range planning shop of Alaska DOT&PF we got to discussing Morse code, signal flags, and semaphore - time well spent. At home I found my 1972 Edition of the Nav...

We had a 1963 Sport and the locker cover did have handles. Attached picture is the best I can do. Shinnecock Inlet, Long Island, 1969. You can see the handle on the port side.

2 diesel 31s on the west coast
1989 Vancouver BC. $125K
1989 California, small 250 hp Cummins $57K

1 1991 31L in NJ. My favorite, $66K. Only $16,500 shipping to Skagway, AK or $9,500 to Seattle!

Bad news. Looks like I lost the bidding war. Though I'm not really sure how it worked. I put my offer in with contingencies (such as the engines had to run - only one engine had started during my early December visit) with the boat agent in the 2nd week in December and the broker came back on the 16...

Back in 1976 my brother-in-law and I got to dive on the stern section of the Pendleton near Chatham. Got one lobster.

I want to go! During the summer of 1967 we made the trip from Piermont, NY just south of the Tappan Zee Bridge (west side) to Montreal (Expo 67) and back. 16 day round trip.

Good tidbit on the 2-stroke diesel vs 4-stroke.

So with the Cummins, they may have trolling valves, but no emergency shut-offs.

jimp

Thanks guys.

Guess I'll have to trace the cables the next time I visit the boat.

The next questions become:
If they're trolling valves, where are the emergency shut-offs?
If they're emergency shut-offs, where are the trolling valves?

I'm putting this in the GAM as a general discussion as it's not a repair, modification or performance question but a question on the diesel engines, specifically the Cummins diesels in a 1990 Boston Whaler 31. From what I've found out (and Chuck Bennett at Boston Whaler didn't have an answer), there...

Don--I'm not familiar with the Marine US application. What is it? Thanks--JimP

jimp

Wow. You guys are 10-years ahead of me (or more). I use a basic Tracfone and love it. My wife and daughters mutter comments under their breath.

Maybe I'm leaning towards the simple marine GPS chartplotter.

jimp

JimH - Happy New Year and thanks for the info. Hadn't thought of the Mac's. My daughter has an old 2003 Powerbook with 12" screen she used in college. Might be too old for the newer charting software(?). Wonder if I could use that? I'll have to look at it tonight. Excellent points on brightness...

Joe--how good are you at sewing? I wanted camper canvas, but didn't want to pay the local shop $75/hour and lose my boat for a week or two.

davidc--growing up we had a 1963 Sport [13] with 18 HP Johnson from 1966-1981. Two 14-year-olds could slalom ski--barely: no observer in the boat, one driver, one skier, and, yeah, before we were concerned with safety. The 18-HP lasted for half a summer and then a new 33-HP Johnson that did fine. To...

Thanks. Hadn't thought of putting something in now that I could add to later. Guess I should get smarter on this stuff!

Peter - Thanks. My brother-in-law (guess that would make him my sister's hubby) has a 23' Pursuit with the 4208 - very nice. The difficulty I have with the boat I'm looking at is 1990 Furuno radar and fathometer (there's an empty bracket where maybe a GPS once was). So I don't want to interface 1990...

Thanks. I haven't figured out the "adding features later". I'm still old school and grew up on RDFs, LORAN A, and consolan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonne_(navigation)).

I looked at the 42XXX, has potential.

conch - Thanks. That's the type of idea I needed. A trivia question that I've had for years. With a MFD (combo chartplotter and fathometer), can you run the unit without the fathometer transducer installed - just use the chartplotter? "Way back when" you were told to never run your fathome...

We've discussed [the c.1989 to c. 1991 Boston Whaler 31 and 31L boats] in the old forum. Just curious: how many were built each year?

Best price in Juneau is $3.35 for gas and $3.18 for diesel. Diesel was fluctuating the last few months between $3.17 and $3.20... are you kidding me? A 3-cent range?
