If you were over here in Chesapeake country you could take your pick of any number of Montauk 17s and 170s. They are abundant.

Be patient and something will pop up. It's only a matter of time.

Thanks, I appreciate the encouragement. It is frustrating seeing all of the ads for Whalers in excellent condition and at a good price but so far away. I just need patience is all. Hard to do when there were two, in great shape, relatively close, priced very well and just slipped through our fingertips. Oh well.

I did notice the Outrage in those years as you have mentioned and will keep my eyes open. I'm afraid it's even more rare in this area but ya never know...

After winter, if I don't find anything, I may look farther out and consider shipping. Can be a couple grand from East to West but if I get a decent price, it may be worth it.
