Just got a 15 foot Whaler , probably a Sport, or maybe a Alert, I'm still trying to figure it out. According to the registration its a 1990, but I have questions about that also.
Anyway, It will likely be stored outside on land thru the winter season and Alaska being what it is, will get cold. Pretty certain there is some water inside the hull and am wondering if the boat can be damaged from the expansion of the freezing water ?
Thanks
I know the boat has been in Alaska for at least 5 years, prior to then I cant say.
When I got it, it was upright and laying on 3 pallets, I raised it higher and angled it to stern, for drainage and so as to clean old barnacles off it and do some minor patching, and it was then I saw some water seepage from a few of the holes back near the stern.
She sits in the water right above the chine line, with some fuel and a 25 horse Yamaha.
Should be able to get some pictures, and post them if and when our satelite internet connection allows.
Thanks
