I've never seen one that wasn't any good.

Re: Do you think this Old Whaler is Worth 700?

well, I went to look at this poor soul of a whaler. Some one had done a number on this thing. There are about 3 holes in the bottom of the hull, straight through to the other side. The bow has a weird winch type thing, that is rusted and the bolts have started to pull through the fiberglass. I was thinking the winch was some sort of pot retriever or something. Anyway, the seller should pay me to take this thing off their hands. The trailer has flat tires, and is rusted to hell.

So bottom line, I was fine with everything, but the holes in the hull. I just dont' feel that i will have the time or the expertise to repair something like a hole in a hull, let alone 3 of them. til next time!!

Thanks everyone for your comments, you have given me alot to think about regarding a small boat for my self. :D

you did the right thing, and found about the only thing that can hurt a whaler--a hole that lets lots of water into the sealed hull.
