I have a 1966 Boston Whaler Currituck, 16', 100 HP Evinrude outboard on it ('79). The boat is awesome. I purchased it in the Spring time and used it all through the summer in Annapolis area / Severn River.
I've slowly been doing some minor modifications to it, such as putting the blank rubber rail around the edge, custom canvas cover (blue) for the boat while on the mooring, and the outboard to avoid sun damage, took off original steering wheel and replaced w/ stainless steel (kept original though).
The seating of the boat is a little strange... bench seat in front of the consolde, then two wooden benches that run along the gunnels in the boat towards the anchor locker. I guess those are fine, but i'm thinking about installating a bench seat in the back that will cover the battery, fuel tanks, etc. I'm nervous about drilling into the fiberglass however...... any suggestions if this is even feasible w/ this model? Thanks!
