I bought to restore but I'm working two jobs trying to keep my head above water so here it is,,,,,,,,,,,,If a Continuous Wave member purchase it I'll include what I think is the original fuel cell in pretty nice shape. Thanks Doug

This is a vintage 1963 Boston Whaler (no engine.) You are bidding for the hull, trailer, wooden console, steering wheel and side rails. I spoke with Boston Whaler and and they verified that the boat was manufactured in May of 1963. The good part is that the boat will be beautiful when restored.
The bad. The boat needs fiberglass work along with total restoration. It had carpet in it but I pulled it out. You can see the glue is on the deck. There is a crazing and a few small holes in it. Nothing that can't be cured by an avid Whaler collector. I am not trying to say that it would be a breeze as it needs work but can be done. It would make a great winter project. The first picture is a photo of what it will look like when you have restored it. I have not posted pictures of the console but I do have it. Needs refinishing but it has been stored inside for the last 21 years. The trailer is a Southern Draw and needs tires and lights. If you need additional pictures let me know which specific area and I'll be glad to email them. I also have the old engine that came with it. I don't know "anything" about it. I am not selling it but giving it to the lucky winner if you want it. If you don't I'll junk it. Email for my phone number or email yours and I'll be happy to call you. NO RESERVE. Payment is expected at the end of the auction. Located about 1 hour N of Spaghetti Junction in Atlanta (I-85 and I-285) or an hour and a half south of Greenville, SC. Expressway all the way. Thanks for taking a look.
