A 1976 Boston Whaler Newport 17 in pretty good shape with a 75hp Mercury Force motor. I am an avid kayak fisherman but have always wanted a Whaler. I am looking forward to reading more through the forums and figuring out how to upgrade this boat to my needs and closer to its original form. If there are any others from CNY I live in East Syracuse and will be spending a lot of time on Oneida and Ontario Lake. Would love to meet up with others and get to know the boats and owners better. Thanks! Steve
