A couple months ago I noticed a really nice flat bottom, dual axle, roller bunk trailer on the side of the road and stopped in to inquire about it for sale. $500 wasn't a bad shake but it was bit too serious for my current application. While in the yard I noticed the seller had a small Boston Whaler along the side of the garage. Asked about it and wasn't interested in selling, " Nope ", he said. This wasn't surprising as I've never met an owner of a Whaler that wanted to sell. A month or two later I saw the seller again, inquired, not interested. Just today, again we met. I ask again, and sure enough he is ready to sell. I asked how much, didn't say, but mentioned he wasn't proud of it.. So in an hour or so I'll be going to take a look.
It's been so long since I've seen it I cannot remember if it's a 9' or 11' tender, or even a 13' sport. All I remember was it was in need of paint, and it was small. Normally I don't give fiberglass boats the time of day, but it is a Whaler and I should learn how to work with glass eventually. From what I've learned living on the Alabama coast over the past two years is that a Boston Whaler is one of the most sought after glass boats. Wood, Stauter Built. Oddly enough no particular Aluminum boat, just that it's an Al-Weld construction. " Awl weld " as they say.
The only two glass boat I owned I bought for the trailers. lol. If I were Mr. Money bags I'd be looking at one of those 212 Mako's though. #-o
