Ok, members, thought I would let everyone here know that I am selling the Sport, before listing locally. Pics available by email.

1982 15 Sport, refurbished by myself at Southeast Boatworks, Thunderbolt, Georgia, in 2005.

Stripped, flipped, and never bottom painted. 3M Heavy Duty compound, Finesse It I, two coats of Mothers Pure Carnuba wax. Same process to interior.

Complete interior replaced using OEM disassembled patterns and used select Mahogany 3/4", and 5/4" for thwarts and risers. Elevated rear thwart to top of risers. Custom overbuilt side consul to original spec., but glued and SS screwed from underside (no screws visible/water penetration). Custom machined bottom and inside of 5/4" risers to stand true vertical along gunnels.

Lowered side rails by 1 and 7/8" for lower profile. New stainless steel railing bases and stantions from Fred at HMI Marine. Replaced splash well brass drain tubes from McMaster-Carr (transom was dry). Replaced bow chock/light with stainless steel from Specialty Marine.

Custom built aluminum 18 gallon fuel tank built by RDS Aluminum. Designed to screw into floor under rear thwart using original holes from previous Pate tank. Mounted Racor mini fuel/water separator to starboard side riser, under rear thwart. No ankle biters.

2005 Yamaha F60 (4 Stroke, EFI), multi-tach guage, and mounted to a Bob's Machine 5 in 1 jack plate. Stainless Steel Turbo Hot Shot prop. Under 300 hours per computer print out from dealer. Almost ALWAYS run with non-ethanol fuel and always added Yamaha Ring-Free. 2011 Interstate Group 24 Marine battery, 600 amp. Garmin 545S and Airmar (260?) 50/200 transducer (reads at 44 mph.). White Marine fire extinguisher. Original rub rail, bow eye, Norman pin, rear D (lifting) Rings, and stern light.

Custom built Owens and Sons 2009 aluminum torsion axle trailer. All stainless hardware and custom aluminum wheels, with matching spare. Fulton Swing tongue.

Always garage kept. Heavily flushed engine, and Blue Coral Wash with wax for hull and trailer after every use. Includes very good condition blue bimini top.

This boat is a must see. Countless man hours and attention to detail. Located in Bluffton (Hilton Head Island) SC. Can transport for additional fee. Have family and friends from Cape Cod to South Florida. Asking $9000. Email is current. Thanks. zotcha.

Sounds REALLY nice. I have a good friend that is currently looking at used Whalers and he might be quite interested in this one, even though it might involve quite a road trip to get it.
If and when you have time, I'd like to see some pics of it...I'll pass them on to him.
Thanks!

I will work on pics for you, SOS.

Additionally, jack plate is manual. All mahogany interior parts dry fitted, then two coats Mas epoxy two part resin for extra UV protection, as well as water penetration. Then 8 coats of Captains Marine Spar varnish, lightly sanded for bonding, and brass wool scuffed for rust protection between coats. All wood, with exception of forward hatch looks like an expensive coffee table. Pretty sweet. Thanks. zot.

Raining here. Not a very good day for photos. Have entire rebuild documented in Kodak EasyShare, which will not allow me access to email... Still working on it. Thanks. zot.

Kodak Easyshare sucks. It gets worse all the time. I have pictures in there I can't retrieve. I've got to find something better.
BTW what boat are you going to use in Hernando Beach to replace your 1 footer?

Sorry, the 5 doesn't work all the time on this computer, but you knew what I meant anyhow.

Took an arse of pics with my iphone today. Cloudy but nice. Now I have to manually send three perspective buyers individually like 14 pics. Friggin' blows. If I can get nine out of her I will pay 7200 for an F70 and Bob's manual jack plate again. Got the 2004 trailer for sale as well. PITA!

OH, 1979 SeaCraft 20 Master Angler will be on a lift in Hernando Beach. I can always get another BW 15, but not a classic like the Beast!!!
