Thanks for the speed estimate. I have been reading about another Whaler 15 owner who went to the F70 and he seems really happy. It is just a pretty big amount of money to have tied up in a boat I just bought this spring for $5,000. The F70 rigged is going to be $9,250.
Before buying my 15' I thought about buying a new 130 Sport. In the end I alway like the classic whaler lines and mahogany, but the much better performance swayed me to buying a classic 15'. Infigure even if I have to repower, it is still cheaper than buying a new one. Fortunately haven't had to repower my boat yet with my 26 year old motor is still seemingly going strong but I would have no problem repowering this boat and enjoying it for years to come.
