1. Use the full 4 digit year for everything you are asking your question about. Example: 1962, 1988, 2000, 2011
2. Include the correct name of your Whaler model. Example: Montauk 17, Montauk 170, Outrage 26, Outrage 260
3. Include the length when necessary. Example: 16, 17, 18, 20, 22
4. Do not post your email address anywhere on this site as it is already in your user profile.

I've been approached at launch ramps, gas stations and parking lots asking if my 1981 Sport 13 is for sale. Actually, my 13 is a little rough but is in overall sound and attractive condition. Of course looking at a boat on a trailer ready to launch is much different than reading an ad. I had a couple of problems with your ad here. First, no price is listed. When I see that I just assume the price is so high the seller is afraid to turn off a potential buyer. That's just me. Second, I don't even know what Duracoat is. I just figure it's a form of truck bed liner and that kills any interest I may have had. Finally a link to some good guality images that can be enlarged for careful viewing is always interesting. Lacking good images I don't what kind of shape the boat is in. Butch

I would of also passed on you boat. If I was going to purchase a classic 1960, it would have to be original. I wouldn't have enough knowledge to know what could have been covered up by Gel Coat and Duracoat. I would be worried I couldn't get parts for a 1959 engine. As-Is designation doesn't help me with confidence in the boat or work that was done on it. JMHO, Doug Edited by dougt on 08/12/14 - 7:20 AM 1996 Sport GLS 13' - 1996 Johnson 40hp, 2 Stroke

I can understand some people wanting newer boats and motors. Four years ago I sold a 1962 in poor shape very easy. I think maybe the market is just hit and miss right now. Thanks guys.
