I don't know whether it's the photos or the boat itself, but this one looks kinda weird to me. Help, please.
Thx, Tony

Tony, it looks like a Temptation with a Whaler Drive to me.
They are not your Grand Father's Whaler, for sure.

25' Temptation, WhalerDrive. Missing plush maroon velour interior cushions, original bolster style helm seats and OEM paint and decals on the outboards. What's with the disco blue metal flake on the bonnets?

It's a 300+ HP, 25 foot 45 MPH gas guzzling, smoke belching Boston Whaler Temptation "Workboat". ;)

Always wondered what was up in the nose of a Temptation.

Really Tony? Buy Tom's CD and study it for a while, that was easy. When I first read the thread I thought you found another "one-off" from Whaler again. ;)

Pure laziness, Nick. I have Tom's CDs. Just never seen one of these in person, and the photos had me sorta buffaloed. I think big Temptations like this one are rare on the West Coast -- maybe because they don't fit within the usual classic Whaler functional workboat design parameters ;-)

Sweet! (And, Nick, no offense old pal, I'm talking about the boat...) Maybe some day I'll get back down Florida way. Sure had a nice time in Lauderdale and the Keys a year or so ago. Thx for the pic.

Hey Tony,
I had this unit offered to me just the past year.
It is actually sitting on a neighboring Island..close by.
The price was more then reasonable but the yam was most likely shot.
A great project boat for someone looking for this type of model.

And Nick Nice Montreal Canadian jersey.
The World will forever be full of surprises
I didn't know that you could actually skate.
Hope that you will book a game with us here for a game of shinny.
What's shaking with this Super Outrage Tony?
PS- Nick, You may want to trim of the white collar on this jersey.
Unless you want it to look like a Tommy Hilfiger imitation.
Rather fagnificient.

If Bigshot was a real Canadians fan that shirt would be wet from all the diving he had done. ;-)

Take off hoser! That is a genuine Boston Whaler shirt....beauty aye! Somebody pass me a beer aye!
The only thing I like out of Canada is Molson XXX, Trailer Park Boys and the McKenzie Brothers. You can keep Celine Dion...aye. I know she is Serge's favorite.

Pretty nice looking boats. Not on my wish list, however, because of their limited deck space aft. Also, their design seems to cry out for inboard or at least I/O power.

This model was a true Temptation for me last year.
I was in negotiation with the owner and chatted with him several times.
Here are more shots of this interesting model.

As you can see,It will be equipped with a Whaler drive and a single or twin outboards.
Love the accent there Nick.
Celine, being forever contracted in Vegas, will be out of my price range.
Here is Rita, a true Canadian Sweetheart and possibly more to your speed.I know that she is rather special to me..

PS- Give my regards to your Dear Mother sitting astern on your photo.

That is Ace's wife Joyce...aye!
Thought about a 22 Temptation with a 454 but not fast enough or sexy enough in my opinion. Probably why they were not a great seller. ta least the cabin is usefull. I have 12' of nothing from my feet forward.
egres posted 01-13-2012 02:30 AM ET (US)
Truly spoken like a little Kak Mouth.
But seriously,
My compliments to Ace and his mate for having the style and the joy of owning this fabulous legend and Whaler model
The Temptation.
Such an unusual and rare model.
Thanks to Tony for bringing this one to our attention.
Sweet.
