Boston Whaler - Sea trials!
March 8, 2009. Took the Whaler out on Lake Lavon today to test out the newly rebuilt steering console. It worked flawlessly and is about the perfect height for me. This project was well worth the effort that went into redoing the console.

Hey cliff, what do you think the ideal horse power is for your skiff.

I'm running a 40hp and I think it's plenty of power for the 13' BW. We use this boat for fishing and kneeboarding too.

Great job CLIFF, love that exotic wood you used for dash.
I had a 15 cc and always wanted to raise it up six inches for better height. I see you did just that.

Hey CES that is very nice. I just stumbled on your project today. I am doing a similar addition to the console on my newly acquired 1966 Currituck. I wanted to be able to stand not sit. I left the existing flat console top in place and built a 14" tall addition on top that will house the steering and throttle and tach. The existing flat top will become a shelf of the new. Yesterday I also made my own windshield and just attached it for picture taking. I am so lame about computers that I can't figure how to post but I will try to e-mail them to you.

I recently bought a 17' Striper and it is in need of a lot of TLC. I live in Rockwall and expect to see you on Lavon or Hubbard. Like you, I was in the Navy-been looking for one of the Nuke emblems to put on my boat. Where did you get your emblem?
