Yes, very glad. The return of Whaler Central coincides with my return to boating after an interruption. Have been digging through the archives. Hope the pages that are missing can come back too.

Has the news been posted to the other two Whaler sites? I guess it's just going to take awhile for all the regular posters get get aboard again.
When the site went away with virtually no warning nor explanation some of us feared the worst.

I’m very glad to see it up and running! For such a popular boat there really aren’t many websites for whalers!

I'm glad to see the site back as well, so much information here on the classic Boston Whalers.

Hope you all are blessed as well.

I do have a question. I am really scared to ask it...yeah...it's about another trailer design thing. :)
This time, it's about how to modify one of the original KARAVAN trailers sold with the gunnel supports utilizing the rollers. I am considering some medium term storage with shrink wrap on my 27 FC.
As you know, this boat is huge with a dry wt at 10500 - 12000, and those old trlrs were the cause of MUCH dimpling of the hulls if stored on, and I think that is certainly a first stage of real decline on one of these battlewagons. Every one left seems to have some form of this dimpling, and the ones stored on slings and left hanging from years all have the hull compression dimples from the weight of the boat resting into them.
I need to at least try to prevent this damage. Dry stack cradles have at least so far, not caused any compression damage or noticeable marking.
I have been considering the possibility of inserting some kind of wt distribution pad between the roller contact with the boat gunwales. What do you think? Could this work? As a simple solution? I have no need to actually roll this boat off the trlr, as a standard marina forklift can handle this anywhere on the Gulf Coast, and the Marinas are plentiful everywhere here...
Just thinking out loud, I really do not wish to start any fights.
And thank you very much for your response brother. They aint many of us left it seems...anybody heard from Duff???
If you read this old friend, please let me know your doing well!

If this stirs up any trouble that I cannot forsee at this time Joe, I will take all communication private.
Oh, and Phil, I believe their are still pictures of my KARAVAN somewhere. Its the one I moved the boat from WI down here to TX. If you don't have access to a pic, I can send one.
Finnegan can help here as well.
