Re: Free whaler--worth it?
actually, Frank, if I had more time, and my small outboards worked, I might have dragged it back to the house, rigged and run it--like that rescue skiff I mentioned above. Obviously it floated in high and almost dry, as it was at the top of that day's tide line.
Willy, this one was way beyond rescue, and hundreds of miles up the coast, on a deserted island. And eventhough they are unsinkable, once water gets in the foam in the inner hull, it's all she wrote. And the transom was already cooked. Don't think that wasn't my first reaction--but I already have a 1964 13'.
