Author	Topic:   No Boat
hardensheetmetal	posted 03-13-2002 09:59 PM ET (US)         Well, for the first time since about 1982, I don't own a Whaler. I had sold my '72 13 Sport (whaler #7) on Ebay about two months ago, but the buyer never showed up, so I called the second high bidder and he came through and picked the boat up on Saturday. I purchased another boat back in November (my first non-whaler) but I am now having strong feelings about maybe a newer (2000) 13, a boat that I could actually use, and not work on constantly, and not have to worry about the 20 year old motor dying. I feel a little out of the loop without a Whaler. Dan

tabasco	posted 03-14-2002 02:24 PM ET (US)             Dan- there is a fellow who just traded a late model 13 for a new 17 Montauk. He did it at Birbarie Marine in Branford, Ct. He is a whaler dealer. Call Skip there and I'm sure if he hasn't sold it you can make a good deal. He traded it because he need more space.

JFM	posted 03-14-2002 08:48 PM ET (US)             Dan, I feel very bad for you. You'll have a Whaler as soon as you find the right one. I agree with the new 13' Sport, my son has just about got me talked into one. What ever you do don't look at the new rail and comfort package,or you'll buy one on the spot. Regards, Jay
hardensheetmetal	posted 03-14-2002 09:04 PM ET (US)             Jay, I have seen one with a full bow rail, a big improvement over the basic side rails in my opinion. What is included in the comfort package? Dan
JFM	posted 03-14-2002 09:15 PM ET (US)             Sorry, Dan, the kids are fighting me for the net tonight. The comfort package has very high quality seat cushions and a flip up back rest for the helm seat. I was quoted $9995 with boat, Merc 90 2 stroke, galv. trailer and rail with comfort package. I'm taking a hard look at it. Regards, Jay P.S call John at Portage Entry and He will email you pictures. Sorry I don't have their # at home, I'll post it when i get to work tomorrow. Regards, Jay
