Today marks the 40th Anniversary of my 13 Sport Whaler, dubbed My SWGA Whaler (on here anyway). She was invoiced from the Mass. factory on July 5th 1972 to a dealer in FL. (I believe I am the third or possibly the fourth owner.) What a Boat even at 40 years old!!!
I can almost see light at the end of the tunnel (sure hope it's not a train) in my restore. Hope to have a splash day in the next few weeks.
Thanks to all of you, because I could not have done this without your input, advice and encouragement from what I have read on this forum.
Happy Whalering!

It was my Dad's, now it's Mine, one day I'll pass it down, 'til then it's Happy Whalering.
Happy Birthday to your Sport, I know how tough it can get when you get close to the finish line on a restoration. Of course then you find 20 hundred other things that you want to do to an already finished project.
