Is this an "indulgence" boat or a dink for your future boat?
Sounds neat in any case.

Purely indulgence and a heck of a lot cheaper than a new one.
It brings back many memories of my youth, water skiing behind one and
working at B-W back when they were located in Rockland, MA.

It'll be fun when you're at a boat launch and the owner of a $30K "wax me
daily" bass boat comes over to admire the simplicity of your new yacht.

Eisboch,
What would you do if it wasn't for your spontaneous indulgences. This
is one of the few indulgences (and spontaneous indulgences) that us
simple folk could enjoy and afford. When you buy your new large boat,
let me know if you need someone to keep your brightwork bright and your
stainless shinning. All I ask is a duplicate set of keys.

I found a vintage, 1971, original design (13') Boston Whaler that has been
restored and looks (almost) new. Improvements during the restoration
included new, single cable Teleflex steering, stainless helm, new compass,
etc. All the mahogany seats, mini console and forward hatch cover have been
redone or replaced. It's powered by a little 25 horse Johnson .... (newer)
that fired up immediately in the driveway with muffs and runs perfect.

The interior is the classic Boston Whaler baby blue as they were made in
those days. It's ironic that I worked at Boston Whaler while going to
school back in 1968 and these boats were the ones I did the post mold finish
work on.

Looking forward to splashing it today or this weekend. I need to repack or
replace the trailer bearings first. (didn't have "Bearing Buddies" and upon
inspection found some rusty water in the bearings).

Cool beans.

That was my first boat actually - a 13 Sport with a 25 Merc.

My Dad bought it as a tender and he let me use it when I wanted.

Great little boat.

To a novice boater like me, those older Sports with the traditional
interior have a great shippy look to them. Makes me want to cut my
hair, wear white pants that are way too short, a blue blazer, and of
course a little captains cap

There was an old 17' whaler montauk at the ramp today, with a
sea-captain lookalike dunking it. Lots of nice old wood inside. Old
motor, started right up. Classy boat.

Hippie, schmippy - your're still stuck in the sixties.

By the way, thanks for the gas bucks. I told you you didn't have to
chip in - I asked you, no need to buy gas.

But thanks anyway. I found the money in the cup holder.

Looks like Thursday next.

Congrats, The BW 13 with a 25 Johnson was my first powerboat, I was in
my early teens, and the stunt I pulled with it could of been a scene in
the movie jackass. Long story short. Surfing tugboat wakes in NY harbor,
being pitched out, and watching my whaler leave me behind was a learning
experience not repeated.
Did you get a kidney belt? UD
