Found a 84 13 1/2 foot Boston Whaler today. Galvanized cox trailer, 28
horse mid 80's engine, very clean. All three pieces supposedly owned
by guy and his dad and brother. Everything looks origional, well kept,
engine looks very well tended. the guy wants 2000, I offered him 16
and he did not run me out.

That's about right. I have some experience with this particular model
boat and the problems it can have. It's probably a "sport" right?

It's a good messing around boat if that's what you want.

I'd be glad to bring my engine testing gear and look the boat over for
you if you want.

A second eyeball can sometimes help.

If I decide to do it I will take you up on it. I told the guy the sale
would be contingint on a quick run around Crystal Lake (Stafford) and
of course he would have to accept my offer. Still don't know which way
to go with my boating, I do know I need to adjust or I won't be doing
much. I might spend the money powering up my current boat which might
better suit my needs, but that Whaler just looks sooooo fun sitting
there, so easy to haul around, and great for fishing. Errrrr, I just
can't decide.- Hide quoted text -

I have a nice Brockway 16. High sides, nice swim ladder lots of room.
I think if I could get that on plane, I would be happy with it, right
now I have hull speed all day long, but no faster. Do you think a 25
would get it going (I have one but I would need to do some work on it)
or do I need to go 40-50 horse. For those of you not familiar, a
Brockway is a 16 foot by 7 foot flat bottom pointy skiff about 450
pounds bare hull.
