Re: Boat Insurance Premium Increase
I’ve been in the Insurance industry for 30 years and I can tell you what’s driving the rate increases you’re seeing is likely the supply chain delays and shortages we have now. These problems have resulted in much higher repair and replace costs.

Re: Mounting Bimini Top on Classic 15-footer

Re: Mounting Bimini Top on Classic 15-footer
I’d prefer to rail mount the Bimini top.

Re: Mercury 60 HP on 15’ Whaler
I have a 1980 15-footer. With a new Mercury 40-HP [FOURSTROKE] with standard aluminum three-bladed propeller the top boat speed is 30-MPH

I have a 1980 15-footer with Mercury 40-HP engine. That boat and engine can pull a skier with short skis without a problem. With a 70-HP engine [to pull a water skier] will be no problem.

Re: 15-footer: Rerouting Anchor Locker Drain
As the owner of a 1980 15’, I’ve often pondered this as well. Hopefully we’ve got some owners that have done this and can share how it worked out.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news. That is not a Boston Whaler.
