Saving a Boston Whaler 13 from being a Flower pot !

[Cardinal Joe]

" Flower Pot " - Boston Whaler 13 ft ! Well another Project / Restore this old ( maybe early 60's ) Hull # ? Was going to become a backyard Flower Bed ! So, Capt. Mike purchase this baby for $ 350.00 . It needs a lot of work , but I'll keep updating his BW 13 as we start working on her !

A few more pic's !  The Trailer tires had sunk into the yard over the years & it had two engine cover hoods ?

The hull is definitely pre-1974.  I think that was the first year for the off-white interior.  Previous hulls had you blue interior.  But on the bright side, those hulls came with a LIFETIME WARRANTY!
