Hi, I'm Ed.
I live in Monroe, WA. I've owned boats continuously since I was 12. That was 47 years ago...
Just bought my very first Boston Whaler, a neat Super Sport Limited 17. It's got a Johnson/Suzuki 90 four-stroke on it.

Like many, I've always admired Whalers. I've got a few hundred hours driving an old '74 (?) Sport 17 my water ski training partner had. It was a great slalom training boat. We skied 3-5 times a week, year round near San Diego for years. We had the Evinrude 115 on it rebuilt twice, we put a ton of hard hours on it, and it was well used when my friend got it.

We also have a Malibu inboard ski boat, and a Wooldrige jet fishing boat.

The Whaler will fit in nicely, where the other boats are quite purpose specific. I wanted something to explore Puget Sound and the many lakes, etc. around here. A solid runabout, without the stigma of a Bayliner, Sea Ray, etc... (Just kidding... I really like the Bayliner 4788 yachts...)

I'll ask a lot of questions. I've also got a lot of opinions from owning boats for almost 50 years. (Geeze, old dude...)

Other than that; I run a great company, was an airline pilot for 20 years, collect and race vintage sports cars, etc...
