But otherwise, I actually think it looks pretty darn nice. And it's probably in a lot better condition than before the restoration. At the very least, this Whaler will continue on for many years to come.

While their might be an, "Ass for every Seat", I believe this owner or Marina has a, "Firm Grip" on this boat unless they find a big enough ass to sell it to. Jim G.

I like it, too, but not on a Whaler hull. I predict the boat will sell but not at the current price unless someone wealthy takes a liking to it. Butch

Member Personal Page Posts: 126 Comments: 3 Joined: 06/02/11	Color choices aside, there is a lot of money in parts ( considering fuel tank, engine, fittings, railings / steering / (the Yeti cooler & cover is $500), seating fiberglass / epoxies/ sealers / paints, & labor (many hours disassembly, cleaning, filling, fairing, sanding, priming, painting, wood fabrication * finishing, reassembly, rigging etc. ) to bring a boat to this condition. I'm not saying $78k is the right number but anyone who's done that kind of work is not going to give it away. I hope he gets it. Plus when I get done restoring my 1984 Montauk I can list it for $65k /sarc 1984 Montauk

They only modified few parts (the gauge panel). Restoring an older Whaler is getting difficult as most of you know. Original parts are harder and harder to find. As far as paint, what's wrong with Red, White and Blue. Little patriotic tribute. Buddy of mine just got a 1983 18' Outrage (in bad shape) and is contemplating similar set up. His sides are wobbly and need some body work and paint. Gel coat is difficult and time consuming to apply and to get it shiny. Couple of coats of Awlgrip or Imron and you can be done in half a day.
