Now to take a realistic take on the prospect of a dumptruck's availability to be close enough to be a workable opportunity.
Seems that a lot of hype is being promoted lately about this very specific model.
(They are all; if not mostly; terrific models)
And to address the very specific list of verifiable obstacles mentioned by Larry, a member in good standing here.
I will ask a simple question..
Unless the Ribside in question was "Time Capsuled"
What shape do you expect a 43 year old fiberglass hull to realistically be in..today?
To take on a project of this amplitude will bring the best or the worst of personal manual and artistic talent.
That is why most of Us will rely on the contracted and paid skills from hopefully proven sources to bring the desired results when buying into a refit of that category.
For a small minority of us "Whaler owners";that will buy and invest is several hundreds of hours of personal manual labor and (Mucho Dineros) or several thousands of $ spent on materials alone;
The quality time spent in the manual pride in "making it right" can not be replaced by buying the hopefully turnkey unit for.. a lot of us Whaler owner
Please let us not discourage the Curious Minds among us and excel in dwelling on the negative; as a rule; and to pass on the rare opportunity to enjoy active manual labor in making the acquaintance of a premium Classic Whaler project.
The Classic Whaler 18 is another premium project that will be worth of attention.
The Montauks are a chapter in themselves.
The thirteen has already been a huge and popular choice among refit enthusiasts.
Your personal preferences will always warrant a bit of driving to view a prospect Whaler sale.
