Hey, I was just along for the ride...in his whaler.

Again with the Whalers!
I'll see what I can find. These are the tides we deal with here. Take today for example:


03/08/2008


05:02 AM Low -0.6

11:07 AM High 10

05:25 PM Low -0.8

11:28 PM High 10

No room for the dog, and it's too wet a ride every time for what I'm looking for. They are cool though. Have seen some at boat shows.

Thanks. They keep coming up in my search. I'd like to see one of the 27/28 footers in person as well.

Is that the correct name? I remember, and this is as a teenager, flying into Porland and driving north about an hour. This brings back real memories for me. My dad actually passed away in their house while on a trip to visit them (the Koshlieks were best friends with my parents) many years later. Don't fret as that was in '82. I visited way before that.

you can'g go wrong with a whaler, a 13' with a 40, or the 15' with a 60. both will pull a tube, or a small kid on two skis

Thanks man! As I said, memories....:(

It is beautiful up there. The summer is too short for me though.

Go with a Whaler. They are bullet proof!

I will add I skied behind my buddy's 16 montauk on my way to competition skiing. GREAT boat for water sports!!
