In looking at your pictures, your boat was originally a supersport model.
Hey Dave,
Interesting comment. What is it you are looking at that gives you that notion?
I just pulled up some images on a google image search for "11-foot Boston Whaler Super Sport" and I'll say right up front, I am a newbie with Whaler-culture, but it appears that model has a lot of wood. I don't recall seeing any drill holes in the interior area where the side wood pieces would have been installed. I have a near phobia about drilling new holes in a classic boat, and consider these older Whalers classics. I do, however, want to put the proper and stock/standard non-customized wood trim on the boat, responsibly done, and have enough mahogany in the shop to do the job.
There are some drill holes in the transom, looks like a previous owner had a speedometer or more likely a depth sounder on the transom, and some sort of something else bolted back there. The sins of the previous owner, we all have to deal with that, lol.
Comments welcome, thanks,
regards,
Paul
