well after heming and hawing over the water dripping out of my hull,i can rest. I picked the boat up at the end of the season last year,I purchased it without actually seeing it,it was delivered from south Delaware. When it arrived I was a bit concerned about its condition. Chunks missing from the keel,grey bumpy teak,no working lights,one motor not running correctly,rusty roller trailer,and some other small issues. Needless to say I wasent very happy. So with the help of the great people on this site I worked on her all winter and brouht her back to life,all without knowing if she was waterlogged. I was concerned because of the water dripping out of an old repair in the stern under the bow and some old holes in the stern.
Well I launched her yesterday for a shakedown cruise and the stern didnt sit too low in the water and the motors ran great.She also looks and sounds incredible!!
Just to top it off myself and 2 others went out fishing today and had a blast,7 large 8-10lb blues and a 26" striper! Not a bad start. So thanks to all, for their advice and what sometimes seems like counseling,that helped me get to this point. I have learned alot and am now a true Classic Whaler Fanatic!
