If you zoom in on the engine mounting plate you can see the stencil # 3B0976, which makes it after March and before June. Actually the B looks like an 8 but I assume whoever made that plate made a typo. There is a whole story of why that plate was made, which dovetails in with why that 120 Johnson is on there.

Better than that the owner has the original build list from Boston Whaler because he was trying to buy a Sakonnet and he had to go to the very end of the list to find the last one for sale anywhere, and it was the last one made. This is documented to be the last Sakonnet made & sold.

He has all of the original paperwork & a log of everything ever done to the boat, down to tightening a screw.

He had a carpenter make the console doghouse for gauges & the front platform. He said the boat did not come with a front platform as stock from BW. The trolling motor mount is something else I would rather not see but what are you going to do?

The Johnson 120 is a 1992, has 127 hours on it and weighs 365 lbs. I'm not hating it.

I wish I didn't see that ad because I bought the boat, I couldn't let this boat be bought by some nitwit. It wasn't that long ago I was getting beat up for objecting to how an old original hull was "Restored", and that played a big part in why I bought this boat. There was only one person on that tread that understood what I meant and this boat is too special & too important to let it be ruined. I also think it can be restored to a very high level with most of it's original parts. We'll see, I am taking a big chance here.
