Same here....nothing even attracts me....I salivate every time I visit Nauset Marine on the Cape and get in the big ones....unfortunately my wallet gets paranoid

Awesome bill! Happy for you guys.

How much trouble would I get in if I said that Whalers, like the Patriots, are overrated? Crap, there goes my community rating lol.

 

Can't wait to see her in the water! You going to come over and play with us or go West?

[whaler1]

Patriots and Boston Whaler in the same sentence?
I’m good with that.

Bill I have been using the gimbals set up that way for 16 years and never a problem and I have the extendable booms etc.. They are really the way to go ....easy removal if you want to safe guard riggers or just go cruising without them.

I can run 4 if I want to and Whaler hardware as you know is top notch so the recessed built in holders are very sturdy. I do have swivel bases on the Cannons and that is real convenient

My Trophy had gimbals on it, and over time the pins in the bottom of the rodholder took a set towards the back of the boat...... but not to the point that it became a problem. Something just to keep an eye on.

Ive used them before with no problems and liked how easy it was for removal. The only thing i did to mine was add some electrical tape around the shaft because mine were a tad loose in the rod holder.

Good one John....still laughing.

[whaler1]

Bought a slip yesterday, waiting for weather to get a little better, so much to do but its coming along!

[whaler1]

yet to be installed, T Top, Fisk Hawk X4, downriggers, planer reels.

Need to rub and wax hull, fresh bottom paint, new stickers, etc etc

Rigging a new or different boat is exciting and something to enjoy.and nothing like a clean slate. Good luck with it Bill!
