Summer 2002
A 1987 13'
Boston Whaler w/an 87 40 Horse Johson Outboard, acquired the boat in the
Spring of 2002 with high hopes for the summer season. However, the year
was riddled with engine problems and the boat has yet to see its full
potential. My
brother Ken and myself were able to wakeboard successfully
for one day, but that was to be it for the year. To be continued... |
Summer 2003
2003 represented much more
of the year for which I'd been waiting and hoping. After $1400 in engine
repairs that didn't appear to do too much, Mark found the problem early
in the year: a kinked gas line to one of the carbs. With a little help
and a TON of advice from Kenny, I refinished most of the mohoghany on
the boat. Coupled with the new forward hatch made by Kenny, the boat
was looking pretty nice. I received compliments on it (and a few offers
to buy it) throughout the summer. |
