I previously posted of the fine craftsmanship of Bob Latourelle and it's about as close to Whaler as you can buy.
Bob buys his wood direct from the importer as many local lumberyards do as well. I met Bob and walked through his shop during covid since he's in my area and I've heard nothing but positive reviews on other Whaler forums and owners groups. He's a down to earth guy and has some of the same equipment that I have in my shop, so we had lots to talk about. Bob is a Boston University graduate who is retired from construction management and fills his spare time fabricating boat interiors for Whalers and other boats. He's made hundreds of Whaler interiors.
I have no affiliation or business connection to Bob, but can vouch for his craftsmanship.
