I was at work today, just minding my own business when one of my co-workers litterally bursts into my room and shouts, "You have a Boston Whaler!?" Feeling a bit perplexed, and knowing this individual is a few cards short of a full deck, I tried to figure out where this was coming from. As it turns out, another co-worker and I were talking about boats, her husband has his heart set on a 23' Parker Pilothouse while I've been toying with the idea of moving up and she sent her to me. After I confirmed that yes, I did indeed own a Boston Whaler, she started peppering me with questions. Turns out her husband is looking for one and she wanted to know what the story was with mine. I showed her pictures of my boat from my website and talked with her about some of the different models and tried to answer her questions the best I could. She then, without even talking with her husband, offered to trade my Outrage for a 2007 (I can't remember the exact year) 24 or 25' Trophy. I just had to turn it down. This was truly an interesting day. Anyone have any other interesting offers for their Whalers? This caught me off guard because, after talking with the wife who was encouraging me to upgrade, I decided to look into putting the boat in a slip this year to see if I used it more or not. I am, however, willing to listen to offers, regardless of how zainy they might be! Just thought I'd share my story. Have a great day! Dave
