Just joined and would like to introduce myself.
I'm ArthurEld from Long Island, NY
My girlfriend and I bought a 1966 13' Boston Whaler that we plan to fix up and use this summer.
We're looking for a 35 hp motor and will need a few other things I'm sure.
Look forward to being a member of this great looking site.
Here she is :D

Welcome aboard Arthur.
My first Whaler was a Sport 13' very much like yours. I owned it for 13 years before moving up to a Montauk. The 13' was perfect for running up and down the shallow waters of the Colorado river back in the 70's...
I'm sure you will have fun getting it ready for the water.

Welcome aboard! Looks like you have a nice Whaler to get started with. You will soon come to see how addicting these boats can be. :D

Thanks for the welcome guys.
I've been checking out some of the parts manuals, install sheets and restore examples.
This site is just what I need. I can see this will be a fun project.
We have a very small dock space available within walking distance of our new house in Babylon so this little boat will be perfect.
