Author	Topic:   Transforming my New Whaler
medpsych	posted 03-04-2014 08:53 PM ET (US)         Purchased a 1980 Boston Whaler Revenge. Not in bad shape for its age, but was a strictly fishing vessel. We needed to transform it into a dedicated dive platform. Here is some of the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0f5PSKPQcY Let me know what you think.

As a diver myself, the one thing I would do is fashion a removable "diver door" like many of the commercial whalers have...much easier to get in and out. AND, I surely would figure out a way to put twin MERCS on it :).........
