I've owned a 11ft Boston Whaler for the last two years. I really like whalers and my next boat will be a whaler.<br /><br />But a few mounths ago I got a 13ft wooden boat, I got it great deal on it. It had no trailer or motor. That was no prolbem because I had the old motor off my whaler a 1987 8hp Merc.<br /><br />Today I ran the woody for the first time with the motor. I was shocked, the thing friggen flew. it jumped up on a plane moved right out, I was very impressed. Only thing I did not like was it seemed alittle tippy at high speeds.<br /><br />One of the two boats has to go if I want 17ft whaler. My question is, what boat would you keep?<br /><br />The whaler is a 1975hull with a new old stock 15hp Mercury.<br /><br />The woody has no name on it and has no numbers on it. For all I know it may be homemade.I have a 1987 8hp Merc on it. I've got pictures of the woody, but don't know how to post them, anyone want to post them for me? Let me know I'll email you a pict.<br /><br />Thanks for the replys,<br />Ryan.

Ryan T...I'd keep the woody, even though I havn't seen it it's gotta be more efficient than a tri-hull like the whaler...and sets you apart from most the other boats out there...just a Thought

Re: First trip for my woody.

Since you are getting a Whaler, loose the smaller Whaler - that way you will have a Whaler if the mood strikes and a woody if that is your mood. If you lose the woody, you are just Whaler, dude.

Ryan, I can't believe you waited this long to get your woody wet. I would have had it out asap. Now put it away till you get married.

Re: First trip for my woody.

I would have loved to have it out sooner. But I just did not have a chance. Keep in mind I don't live on the water. Every time I made plans to go out I'd be like "Lets take the whaler, I know it won't let me down" the the end of the season started to come close and I was like "Oh, ****! I dident use this pig yet" :D
