I grew up on Long Island in NY, where Whalers are King, and I have wanted a Whaler since I was a kid. I now live in Seattle, where I fish and crab on the Sound. I have an older Seasport 22, but am looking to downsize a bit to something more easily trailered and single handed. I don't really go out in the winter, or heavy weather (at least not knowingly), and the Seasport 22 is probably more boat that I need (more $$ too). Probably will be looking at an 18 Outrage, used. Any comments on how Whalers do in the great (wet) NW? I see there are a number of NW members to this esteemed group, including Tom Clark, of course.
