We finally picked up an 88' Boston Whaler Sport today. I've been drooling over it on Craig's List for weeks.

Took it out on the lake today and we're hooked. Ran like a champ and the problem I had was fighting my three year old for the helm :) My only gripe is that the previous owner mounted the controls too far away (as you can see in photo #9) which shouldn't be a problem to relocate.

Here are some pics of our maiden voyage, '88 Boston Whaler.

I have a couple questions though...

Where and how do you guys secure bow and stern lines? Also, what's a good size line, I was thinking 3/8" x 15'?

What size anchor should I get that would actually work and fit in the bow hatch?

Where can I find some type of hose to wrap around all the cables going to the motor?

And lastly (for now) what's with the two holes in the back? Should I keep them both plugged or just the bottom?
