What are things to look for when buying a used whaler? I see many older boats from the 70's and 80's, is that too old? I don't want to buy a lemon!

Thanks

That is very vague. What do you want to spend? Have you tried the Whaler Mall on this site? Ebay? Craigslist?

Oh yeah, Craigslist seems like the way to go, i am looking to spend about 8000. A new motor would be ideal but if the boat is old i want to make sure is is sound. I'm really looking for a reliable fishing/ tubing boat.

Provide us information on:

How many people do plan to have aboard?
Will you use the boat on protected rivers, bays, near coast and offshore?

My 1991 15' Sport GLS with a 2001 Johnson two stroke 90 hp is for sale! It would be on the Whaler Classifieds if I could figure out why my password doesn't work.
