Boston Whaler question

I have found a 1995 Boston Whaler Dauntless 17ft. It is a Dual Console. It has a 2 stroke Johnson 115hp OB. The engine and boat only have 100hrs on them and used only on fresh water. The boat is a real jewel. I have worked with the dealer and they will give me the rig for $15,000 out the door.

Is this a good price for the boat? If I were to decide to sell it again in a year for whatever reason would how much would it depreciate? I love the whaler's and really want it but I really want a four stroke and not two stroke because of gas usage. I will be using it A LOT and gas is something to consider for me.

I'm confused because I want this hull so bad but I don't have the money to repower it for a long time. Should I jump on this or look around more for another compairable boat with a four stroke?

What do some of the seasoned boaters think of this deal? Advice please!

Give it a rest. It's as boring as your golf scores. Harry

Harry! You are so neat! I'm honored that you took the time from your busy Christmas day to write a post to me. Am I wrong in asking others to stop agitating basskisser? -- John H

That's not the reason you are doing it. You and the dipsh*t known as Reggie are playing pocket pool here.

Why don't you just stop?

Harry, Harry...I'm sorry to say that, even though you're a neat guy, you are wrong. I really would like to see the basskisser baiting and agitating ended.

That back and forth crap between basskisser, et al, is no more fun to read than your name-calling. -- ****Happy Chanuka****

Yeah, right. That's why you post crap like this:

"And even with that great life, you're still agitating basskisser.

Please stop. I promise not to respond to any of his posts either." -- John H

You are responding, even if it is indirectly. And you don't get this, right? Sure.

Harry, you know, once an asshole, always an asshole! basskisser

Please tell me what is wrong with that, Harry? -- John H

Harry, have a Merry Christmas. Your spiel has got tiresome to all, so you seem to have dropped to the bottom of the scale as to wrecked.boats. Calif

Bill, I'm still looking for all kinds of information you've failed to provide: Please show some examples of my alleged paranoia. Please show how you know that every single boat abandoned in the delta doesn't float, and none can be made to float for a reasonable amount of money in relationship with a high budget TV show. Please show how you know I have a pot "crop" Please show how you know that I either "deal pot" or "smoke pot" Please show what "variety" of drugs I am allegedly taking, and how you know this. Please show how you think that continouswave.com is a Whaler forum. All of these (and more) are allegations from you. Let's see what you've got, we know it's not a brain! basskisser

what drugs are those, Bill? Be specific, or admit that, once again, as usual, you are posting in ignorance. What about the above statement that you are wrong, again, as usual, would make anyone think I'm paranoid? I'm also still waiting on how you know that I either smoke or deal pot. It is fun, however, to watch you get dumber and dumber with each post! basskisser

You should read your posts if you do not think you are paranoid. Calif

Bill,

If you and Bassy can't get along under any circumstances, if you both lack the maturity to end your constant fight, would y'all at least just e-mail each other with your hate mail instead of being a constant embarresment to yourselves out here in the public domain?

You guys are simply too ugly to each other and you are both in the wrong.

Here we go again! It's SO easy to make you look as stupid as you are!! Please show some examples of my alleged paranoia. basskisser

Although Whaler's hold their value, it still seems a bit high. I bought a new, 16' Dauntless with a 115 horse Merc (2 stroke) and trailer for about 22k in 2001. I am sure it has depreciated to less than 15k in the past 5 years. RCE

Maybe http://continuouswave.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro would be a better place to ask. Calif

First of all, four strokes will suck more gas than direct injected two Short

Nice boat but too much $$$. Butch
Dec 23
Yeah, why would anybody post a question about boats HERE. basskisser
Dec 23
Trick question. Too see if you would post some stupid comment about it. Continous wave is the Whaler forum. Calif
Dec 23
Yeah, sure Bill. You've proven yourself to be dumb as a post right here in rec.boats. Over and over again, you post untrue stuff, and give wrong advice. By the way, you never answered my question concerning your knowledge that I either smoke pot or deal. How do you know this?

> Continous wave is the Whaler forum.

Wrong again!!!! Continuous wave certainly is NOT the "Whaler forum"! There IS, however, a Whaler forum IN continuouswave.com

Are you EVER correct??

You need to up your meds. Maybe the variety of drugs you are taking are not working. Making you paranoid. Calif
