Hey guys! Just playing on the internet and came across this site. I just picked up a Whaler yesterday. I bought a 1986 17' Montauk The boat needs some TLC because it has been sitting up for about 5 years, but I am willing to work with it. It has a 1990 Johnson 88hp V4. I can't wait to get it out on the water. I am sure I will have tons of questions to post for you guys when I start going through it. Right now I know all of the woodwork needs to be redone and I need a new seat cushion. I am sure those are the easy things though. Well, just thought I would say hi and introduce myself.
Erik
