To find any Classic Whaler owners is even more difficult. I'd be willing to travel to meet up with some fellow Classic owners. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

Just purchased my boat last July, so still in the middle of the refurb effort. I think its a great idea to get fellow Whalers together for an occasional group cookout/boating outing! Duf

I'VE GOT IT IN MY GARAGE AT THE HOUSE AND HAVE A NEWER BOAT ( SEA CHASER FLATS 180 ) IN THE STORAGE DOWN IN WADSWORTH. I HAVE THE HULL CURRENTLY STRIPPED WAITING FOR THE TRANSOM TO DRY! HAD A SPLIT IN THE AFT THRU-HULL TUBE . GELCOAT AND NON-SKID IS ORIGINAL AND IN GREAT SHAPE. REFINISHED THE CONSOLE AND BENCH 3 YEARS AGO , STILL LOOKS REAL NICE. I'VE RUN A HONDA 50 WITH A JACK PLATE SINCE '02. MY DAD PURCHASED THE BOAT IN '76 FROM THE ORIG OWNER AND HAD IT IN CHICAGO/MILWAUKEE AREA UNTILL I PULLED IT DOWN HERE IN '99. I'M ALSO RECONFIGURING MY TRAILER TO CARRY A WHALER WITH KEEL-CENTER ROLLERS AND AM LOOKING FOR SOME PHOTOS, INFO. SUGGESTIONS... REGARDS, THE BLACK DRUM, KATY, TX.

The good news is the work needed is mostly cosmetic. Tx reqiuires a "pencil tracing" of the HIN because I'm transfering it from Ohio registration. I'm assuming it's the number molded into the transom just to the left of the main motor mount (looking from the rear). I am a T-38 Simulator Instructor @ Laughlin AFB so its primary use will be fishing Lake Amistad. I will be setting up a site & posting progress pictures soon.

Member Personal Page Posts: 136 Comments: 2 Joined: 06/22/07	It looks like us Texas Whalers could have a good time. Okay! I'm looking for suggestions as to where and when. I'm sure many of us would have to travel and probably stay some place over night so local accomodations would be a must. Any ideas?

Member Personal Page Photo Albums Posts: 840 Comments: 9 Joined: 04/22/07	well Bob, this is what i can offer should everyone come this way. Plenty of accomidations, with numerous hotels on North Padre Island. Launch ramps on the island, with tons of canals/intercostal/gulf places to pull up on sand bars to party and or cook. I have a place on the water (about 90' of waterfront that can easily dock 5 or 6 boats) and if there is not too many, a place to crash for 5 to 6 couples between myself and my significant other comfortably. So i would suggest a venue of travel on a friday, launch first thing sat morning, cruise to ski basin sat, converse/lie about boat stories/cook out, head to my place (depending on size of crowd) sat night, spend night after a cook off, and head home sunday. If we do a 3 day weekend, could make Sunday an off shore in the Gulf fishing trip for several Whalers while the remainder can do a repeat of saturdays fun event. So, for planning purposes, what do you say we put our sights on a memorial weekend trip? Doug V, need to figure out how to come down and join in on the fun, with or without the boat!! Duf

Unfortunately I already have my spring and summer booked with family reunions, one in the the Pacific Northwest and another in Puerto Rico. I will be following your plans and having fun with the group vicariously, through the site. Doug

I am in La Grange, TX and like to fish Port A, Rock Port, Port O, Matagorda or Galveston at least once a month. Getting a group of Whaler owners together sounds like a good time. At the least a good reason to put the boat in the water. I have 2 small children (3 and 6) so will need to find our own place to stay so we do not get in the way. I have never been to "ski basin" -- you are around Corpus. Is that Corpus Christi Bay area?

We live on Clear Lake in Clear Lake Shores. Just a mile to the Kemah Boradwalk. Might be a fun place to start a "tour"
