Hello!

Just purchased my first boat with a motor yesterday. A 1976 Boston Whaler Newport 17 in pretty good shape with a 75hp Mercury Force motor. I am an avid kayak fisherman but have always wanted a Whaler. I am looking forward to reading more through the forums and figuring out how to upgrade this boat to my needs and closer to its original form.

If there are any others from CNY I live in East Syracuse and will be spending a lot of time on Oneida and Ontario Lake. Would love to meet up with others and get to know the boats and owners better.

Thanks!

Steve

Welcome aboard WhalerCentral Steve.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Newport.
I noticed you have a fairly rare "4 Man Seat" on your Newport.
We don't see many of those.
Enjoy.

Thanks Joe! I added a few more pictures to my personal page on here showing the seat. More to come as the transition takes place!
