Looking For A Lost 1969 Sakonnet
Posted: Wed Nov 25, 2020 2:04 pm
[I am l]ooking for your help to find THE 1969 Sakonnet I owned at the age of 14-years-old.
My Dad bought this 1969 SAKONNET directly from the Boston Whaler factory in Norwell, Massachusetts. It was used at the New York and Boston boat shows that year. My Dad’s best friend was Dick Gordon, an engineer at Boston Whaler, and Dick made the arrangements to sell the 1969 SAKONNET to us. I absolutely loved that boat.
Stupidly, I sold it eight years later [in 1977] to a guy in Braintree, Massachusetts, and I have lost track of it for the last 40-years or more.
A interesting event occurred while going through some of my deceased father's belongings: I found the original Massachusetts registration number: MS 1706V. On the registration, the hull number was listed I am now in the hunt to find that boat.
To anyone who owns, or knows of, a 16foot hull with the stencil number 3A0923: I would love to talk with you.
I promised my wife I would not buy another boa, but this is my only mulligan I have left with her.
Please help me find 3A0923.
