Dan,
I didn't know there was that much plywood in the deck of the new Sport.
With that much damage it may go cheap enough to get the Mercury for a good deal. It looks brand new.

If you read about the motor you would run, it is seized. You will be able to get the whole rig for $500.00.
hardensheetmetal posted 03-05-2003 10:23 PM ET (US)
The really sad part of it is, that someone used to dealing with boats at auction will probably buy it for a grand, make some half-assed repairs (can you say BONDO!). You'll see it go on ebay a month later for $5000.00 to some unsuspection soul that only sees that it is a Whaler.

Jay - the plywood surprised me too. I wonder if it is there to mount the full bow rail?

Here is another sick Idea...I have always thought (I have many disturbed thoughts) that it would make quite a statement to be a buried in a 13' Whaler coffin! Here is the perfect candidate!

No Dan, you would be better served in a Classic for burial at sea. You would also need a ton or 2 of lead.
I think that plywood may be a good idea for a trolling motor mount or if it be pine, it would make a good coffin too.
Regards, Jay

Some boatyard will pick this up for a song, patch it up and have a sturdy utility boat for the next 20 years.

What's with all the plywood ? I'm sure the
older Whalers don't have that much plywood in them.
I have watched that site for some time now and I think we'll all be surprised what this boat goes for and how many bid on it.
Apparently there are quite a few people out there that make a living buying wrecked boats, fixing them up and selling them.

Buried in a Whaler????
You better hope there is not a high ground water table, or that there is a sudden flash flood.
You could be raised from the dead, as it were. :)

The plywood and phenolic blocks alternate around the non-skid surfaces for mounting the cleats, most are just 9 inches long. Just reviewed this at the dealer, using the BW supplied drawing for the 2002 13' sport.
hardensheetmetal posted 03-06-2003 04:01 PM ET (US)
T-penny-
Never considered that, I might have to have the mortuary put some lead blocks under me to hold the boat down.
Didn't the Egyptians used to float dead bodies down the river (I can see where this might be upseting to other boaters on the river).

Floaters are good! You roll them over and scoop the crabs off for dinner.

I will grant that you know much more about BWs than I do and I have found your posting. They have both been insightful and enjoyable. I have been an avid reader of this site for about 6 months and I have to admit that I am hooked.
I have not posted much because did not feel I could add to the discussion. However in this case I have had some experience with �floaters� and take my word for it I know they are not that pleasant. Most of us are attracted to BWs because we want to avoid gaining experience in this area.
I am not trying to preach �.. because ironically dealing with the dead has a tendency to draw out a sort of sick graveyard humor and I have said and heard much worse than this but the comment just seemed out of character for you.

Kirk 68,
Since you didn't fill in your occupation in your profile, from your comments, I assume you are an undertaker???
Regards, Jay

The term, "floaters", has a whole diff'rent connotation in the sewerage bid�ness. Glad t'have an undertaker among the membership, though. Never know when y'might need one.
kirk68 posted 03-20-2003 03:00 PM ET (US)
No, I am not an undertaker. I used to work as a lifeguard in the late 1970�s for a state park system. Whenever they lost someone in the lakes the would have us out dragging for them. In most cases they would float up after a few weeks to a couple of months. Needless to say it is an experience not easily forgotten.
