You could use a cooler instead of a rear thwart seat if you wanted.

Jeff

Actually, it is an easy conversion. You do not have to cut a rigging tunnel to install a center console. Nor do you have to make it look anything but OEM... If you want to convert a sport or any 15 to a center console, it requires building two new OEM style tall seat risers (one with a rigging pass-...

The Rage 18 is a low production boat. There are not may of them as they were not great sellers. To that, there are few who have ownership and piloting experience on them. One thing about them if you are looking to purchase one: as when they were first for sale, they are still not good sellers. They ...

Lacquer thinner is one of the best and fastest ways to bring a rubrail back to life, remove scuffs and clean.

To make it shine, I do 2 coats of 90 weight gear lube on it every season and touch up as needed.

What defines a Classic Boat in general (by state law) is different from what defines a "Classic Whaler" which was the original question. In Michigan there is no Classic Boat registration. We have a "Historical Watercraft" designation. It is set up similar to what the autos have w...

Jeff

Very cool site and visually interesting. Too bad the wave information does not cover the Great Lakes.

Jeff

Not a Whaler and no idea what it is. What does the HIN on the transom read?

Jeff

It is over 30' from the bow (pulpit not included) to the end of that salt shaker marine Whaler Drive bracket. Include the motors and you are over 32.

With our 23 Walkaround Whaler Drive the custom trailer builder we had recommended to have a double winch post on these (ours) and the later (your) post classic Whalers. One serves as the bow stop, the other for the winch. He said it would provide a clear swing for the crank arm from hitting the pulp...

Jeff

What? Really?

Man that sucks. I thought just after I got off the phone with you last week...shoot I forgot to ask if you had heard from Nate..

He was a great guy who I spent a lot of hours on the phone with. I helped him find his 25 and buy it for a steal..

Great guy. Such sad news.

Jeff

It is simple. There are no opinions that dictate the definition. It is not a debatable fact per se--no matter how much one might like a particular aesthetic of a hull. The definition is, any hull designed prior to Reebok taking ownership. So any hull that Dick Fisher, Ray Hunt or Bob Dougherty (main...

Here are a few photos of an 18 Outrage that was for sale here in Detroit a few years ago. It started as a seadrive and then had the transom center modified to have a standard outboard mounted while still keeping the stern quarter boxes. It was for sale for $18,000 which to me was a steal... 3G43F33I...

Jeff

CC25, Are you sure it was a 240 Outrage? Whaler does not offer a new 240 Outrage. Was it new or used?

It sounds like a dealer created option. Likely a special graphics and option package. They would not be able it increase the maximum horsepower rating.

Was it at a MarineMax Dealership?

Jeff

Here is a great looking Gypsy / Yankee Voyager converted to a bracket and outboard power:

That one in New Jersey has been for sale for some time. It is a wreck. I know someone who looked at it in person. This one below has been listed in Windsor Ontario and was last listed at $6500 US. It never sold. If someone really wanted one, that is the better route to take. The one in New Jersey ne...

I have seen cracks like that in all Whaler hulls. The abundance and severity of the cracking and crazing comes from the amount of exposure to ultravoilet and other elemental factors, as well as how the gel coat was cared for during its life. Gel coat is a petroleum based compound and the oils give i...

Jeff

Maverick--I have recommended to others to get the fuel tank LineX'd and Rhino-lined before installing it. It will protect it from failure for a lifetime.

Jeff

Yes, I would not foam the tank back in and that link is a good one. Don McIntrye used that same method when he did the fuel tank on his 21. I would also recommend getting the new tank LineX'd / Rhino-lined prior to install. That will protect it for many many years and prevent any future failures fro...

Don,

I too have gotten down the Jamestown Video wormhole. This is a good video of their 13 restoration and crazing repair..

That 18 turned out great!! You really did a great job on her..

Some Shots of our 1993 23 Walkaround Whaler Drive from this year. The boat was originally bought by the first owner at the Miami Boat Show in 1993. This boat was built by Whaler for their show booth and he just had to have it. The boat lived on a lift on the intercostal in Pompano Beach Fl during hi...

Well at least you still have the OEM whaler base under that cushion.

If the boat is currently in Mass, I would look at getting a good canvas maker out there while it is in New England. There are a lot more quality canvas makers out there and the prices are much less than the west coast.

Jeff

Don not drill any holes... The boat is just fine. You WILL NEVER be able to dry a hull out by drilling holes. Unless you want to wait decades. Even then, you will never got 100% of the moisture out. The only way to get it all out, is to cut out the foam... There is not an old Whaler out there that d...

I can't believe you sold that boat in the first place : ). Congrats on the "Repurchase"

Wow, Tony's old boat...

Well it was Andy's (Fishcop) first then Tony's and then I think Andy bought it back. I love that little 15.

Jeff

I find it very interesting the Whaler got smart and installed what looks like a cavity drain tube at the stern low point of the cavity.

Jeff

Do you still have the Z-Legs?

Do you have the Stainless Swing arms too?

Jeff

Whaler based Sentry models where only offered in the 19 (on an 18 hull), 20, 22 and 25 lengths. Never a 17.
