Hello. I am a new member of the Boston Whaler family. I am the proud owner of a Menemsha.
She is rough looking but has a solid hull and a good engine. I began removing a couple of layers of pealing paint and will be replacing the woodwork over the long cold and dark Massachusetts winter.
She is missing the windshield. I will probably make a replacement as I think finding an original might be impossible.
I am interested in any advice as I begin this project.
I plan on installing a bimini and would like to have a canvas enclosure sewn also.
My research tells me that a "Navy" cover was an option. I( would like to have something similar, but with more headroom aft
Any advice or leads are greatly appreciated.
I am very, very excited about adventuring in this great little boat.

What is the purpose of the laundry basket? I assume it is a temporary propeller guard to protect boats moored nearby but it appears the skeg remains exposed.

Re: Menemsha Refit
Boats were banging into each other while moored so the harbor master ordered that all props be covered.

Re: Menemsha Refit
I am starting a Menemsha rebuild also.
1969 Hull.
I rebuilt and repowered a 1985 Montauk in 2021. I kept it pretty original with a few modifications.
The Menemsha I want to convert to a Radon Style boat. I have attached links for the before and after looks.
