has anyone done a rebuild/restoration on a small one? i just picked up a 75? 13 ft with a barely running 35 evinrude it is in desperate need of pretty much everything it needs all wood replaced, a front bow guard most fittings and will probably need soda blasting and a regel on the white. wow after typing this its sounds worse than it looks..

My neighbor redid one, but it was already is good shape, but it turned it into GREAT shape about five years ago. It is a sharp little boat. I hear they are highly desirable. His looks like a mini version of a larger high end center console Tee Top Boat. I am not sure what year, but likely late 80's.

Peter,
Get in touch with Mark. He's got 2 vintage Whalers and may be of some help. |

Yep, link works (LLS).
Used Whalers command big bucks in the northeast. Even the junkers. |

Al and Peter, Mark as Tim mentions, is "Laurel Lake Skier" . He's been with us for many years. I don't understand why the link doesn't work for yourselves?? Look for him in the memberlist under his screen name. Link to mark again |

It is now but was not soon after he posted one of my neighbors in Florida won one in a hospital fund raiser. I think it has a 40 hp Merc, not much longer than wide!

As Pete said, I've got a couple of Whalers along with my inboard. Since its easy to trailer, the 15' has made a couple of trips to Green Lake for reunions. I've refinished the wood and rebuilt interior parts in both of the boats. I need to get after the 15' again.....maybe a winter project.
If you're looking for info on Whalers, here's a Link to Whaler specific forum that should put you in touch with some pretty good info and other contacts. Taking a look through my files and can only find a photo of the 17' - here it is. |
