Hey guys, ive been working all winter on fixing up my 1972 whaler. It was a cohassett II but the console was literally falling apart so I bought a new one from blackstone marine (thundermist) in RI and have been sanding/painting the boat all winter. The hull is light blue (interlux brightside) the topsides are blue glo white (brightside) and deck will be a light grey non skid (interlux interdeck). Other than that I pumped a hole in the back of the boat, drilled out a section of foam with an auger bit and installed a garboard drain which is has been dripping water out all winter, especially lately with the warm sun on it when its out of the garage on nice days. When I am finished painting/installing the console next week it will be off the shop for a custom grab rail/console arch and a leaning post.
The pics of the progress are on my personal page, hope you guys enjoy.

Hey Joe, Nice pics, I may redo mine at the end of this season. Do you have any pictures of you garboard drain? Also how's that Long Co.trailer working out? I just put the exact one under my boat but, have yet to launch and retrieve though.
Not a big fan of the trailer, the boat doesnt seem to sit quite right on it, but that may be adjustable, I keep it in a slip so I have never paid much attention to the trailer.
