22 Whaler Revenge

[Yooperdad]

This is a 1984 Whaler that had spent most of it's life in a boat house. I found and bought it in 2006. It even came with a variety of canvas configurations, all original, and all like new. Re-powered with a 200 Merc, now have 4 Walker electrics and a Subtroll, and am hot for the season to get here. Haven't had much time to fish the last few years but when I do, I fish at Fairport, MI, (the photo), Cedar River(Green Bay), or close to home in Marquette on Lake Superior.

The boat is a great fishing platform, small enough to trailer, yet big enough for most any weather conditions that come along.

Nice ride Yooper. Those Whalers have one of the best hulls out there.

Thanks. My first time out to fish it was in 4-7's with wind. Everyone chose to stay in port and go back to bed because of the conditions, except one guy who said he was going to try it for a while. Being so anxious, I decided to follow him out, first to chart the way between the rocks to deep water, and second because I was so hot to fish.

I was just amazed that with those conditions, we were actually able to fish with the wind and it really wasn't that bad. Even put a few in the box. Made a believer of me in my "new to me" Whaler.

Thank you. I really like the old girl. The only downside, now that I am getting old and fat:D, is the difficulty getting up front. There is a hatch on the foredeck but not real big. An arch to hang on to would be nice.
