Just purchased my first whaler it’s a 1988 22WT Revenge with a 225 Yamaha in decent condition, has some minor oxidation and needs a good cleaning. I saved for two years to buy a whaler, my friends and family think I’m crazy for paying $8000.00 they just don’t understand my whaler addiction, any tips, tricks or advice on this project would be great.

Congratulations jmurnan.

$8,000.00 for a Revenge. That is a steal.
You don't mention the size however... ??? 20', 22', 25' ??

Apparently your friends and family have no idea what an outboard motor even costs.

A 225 hp outboard motor costs approximately 16k to 18k just for the motor.
What are they thinking? Please set them straight. :)

I would really like to see a 1988 Revenge that cost $8,000.00.
I believe I would buy them all day long at that price.
