The versatile 16 - 17 Whaler thoughts and pictures
When I was getting ready to refurbish a beat up 16 hull back in 2008 I first started collecting pictures of different interiors, cabins and railings that I thought were unusual or very functional and put them in to a collection while I decided what to do. While doing so I also realized how versatile and easily adaptable these hulls were to the individual owner. I have made a little slide show of some different pictures I collected and thought I would share them with others. Some of you have probably seen some of these pictures before some are classic whaler layouts. Hope you enjoy the show and maybe these pictures will help you make some decisions about your own boat. You have to look at some of these boats closely to see the nuances in the interiors and some are very obvious.
I continue to be amazed by peoples innovations on this hull. As a result of this posting a few guys sent me additional pictures and with their permission I added those pictures to the collection, enjoy! The Fire Fighting 17 is pretty cool never would have thought of that. Also, some console and cabin innovations that could really stand on their own in that the few pictures I posted with short explanations really don't do them justice.
Thanks for the outstanding slideshow. It gave me some great ideas on adding storage space to my Montauk, particularly by adding a tackle/tool cabinet area under the RPS. One could almost raise the RPS seat to leaning post height and utilize the space above the fuel tanks. Compliments to Zap as well on the superior woodworking.
