David Jenkins	posted 10-06-2008 10:03 PM ET (US)             Yesterday I went and looked at the boat, cash in hand. The boat has been severely abused. Boat has been painted and the paint is peeling everywhere. Fiberglass has separated from the foam in a couple of spots. Engine looks ancient and has no tilt and trim. Nothing inside the boat (seats, the little home-made console, Norman pin etc) is original. There is no forward storage compartment and that made me suspicious that it was not even a Whaler but is instead some type of imitation Whaler. It did not even have a Whaler-style rub rail. Buyer beware.

boatsaver	posted 10-08-2008 10:04 AM ET (US)             motor has no value. boat is a money pit that will waste a chunk of your remaining lifetime. this is the kind of posting that should be labelled toxic.
