My First Whaler

It has the original Johnson 90 and the hull is in amazing shape. No crazing or stress cracks and no bottom paint. She sits nice and high in the water. It was at one point in storage for 8 years. I am anxious for Winter to be over. In the mean time I will continue to learn all I can here and I am sure I will have lots of questions.

It does not have a bow rail and I would like to remedy that a.s.a.p. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h33...259fce.jpg This is my first time posting an image here. If I have done it incorrectly please let me know. Can you only post links? (correct: [img] does not work in the forum sections) Edited by Joe Kriz on 12/23/14 - 11:17 AM
