Thanks guys...

And don't forget Mike.

A little background info.
Mike and I had our own separate Boston Whaler pages many years ago.
Some people called them "crappy" little 10 page websites.
Mike had the WhalerCentral.com name on his website with a few parts photos and I had my Drawings page with a few Boston Whaler drawings.
Mike and I have been friends for many years and he happened across this forum software so he called me and asked me if I wanted to join forces....
So, we combined our websites and resources and used the name "WhalerCentral"...

Where else can you go to see a photo of a Classic Boston Whaler part?
Where else can you go to download parts drawings for Classic Boston Whalers?
Those are just a couple of things we started with. It has obviously grown from there.

We ultimately want to provide the information that everyone is interested in, not just what we think should be posted here. This site is about, and for, all of the members.
So keep the ideas coming and let us know what you want to see.

Thanks for the background Joe, I always wondered how things got started!

Personally I'd like to see.... spring as it's currently 0 degrees here (no kidding unfortunately!). But I have to say getting the Whaler this spring and finding this site at the same time has really been excellent, not to mention helping me tolerate the winter much better this year. Great site, great community of people, and great to check in frequently to see what people are working on. Thanks! (and think spring)

Dave

How about:

Which maintenance job do you dread the most:

1. Sanding
2. Varnishing
2. Fiberglass/gelcoat
3. Electronics and wiring
4. Engine
5. Trailer

or you could turn it around and have it which maintenance job do you enjoy the most

Thanks Joe,
All I am able to do is read right now, so this should be fun. It's 4 degrees this morning! Not a lot you can do on a restoration in temps like that. Angry

Maybe ad "no name" - or maybe that would fall under other. My Whaler currently has no name - my Deck boat is named "Floridays" - Jimmy Buffet song. Wanted to name it "Mental Floss" (another JB song) - but saw a local boat with the same name so I had to change.

I never got a name, I tried "The Nimitz" ( nobody understands what I said on the VHF when "Hailing"). "The Sled" ( huh, ya got a snowmobile ), "Whalen's Whaler" (too many "Whales" in the name), and for some strange reason (besides me being "Strange"), I think the transom is too small with the outboard in the way for a name (it would be too crowded back there). A few times I had a lettering kit, and was going to put on a name ( you should have a name on the hull, in case the Coast Guard goes looking for you, or has to "Hail" you ) but, did'nt do it . On Memeorial day I was going to add a name, I got close, I looked at the boat and it was a perfect "Red" (Whaler Logo), White, (Hull) Blue, (bottom paint and blue cushions), I decided to add a small U.S. Flag to the bow (temporary, proper Flag rules requires that on the stern), I was going to add the name but, stepped back and said "This looks great", just a clean little 15 footer in Red, White, and Blue with a flag for "Memeorial Day". I'm looking at the boat now covered in the driveway, the thermometer reads 19*F, I wanted to go out to get the stencile # last night for the reg on "W/C" model's, but, it was so cold (20-30 mph winds), and I had worked outside all day, so once I got warmed up inside (via a great NY pepperoni Pizza), I was exhausted, is spring ever gonna get here ? I'm "twisting on the Hook" (hey, possible name) to get out there and do some work on the Boat. If you're looking for a cool boat name check out the horse racing pages in the newspaper, race horses ALWAYS have "COOL" names !
