I just sold my 17 ft. Nausett. 1967. You would never know by the look, feel, ride and general condition that it was a 1967. I sold it to move up to a bigger boat to accomadate the type of fishing my 13 year old and I have moved up to; chasing more challenging game offshore. We had grown so comfortable with the whaler that we found our selves fishing in places we had no business being with a 17 foot boat. The only reason we were able to venture to the places we found ourselves is because we were in a very sea-worthy vessle and never felt threatened. Since purchasing a bigger boat, we have ventured off shore farther than we ever imagined. Guess what we run into out there every once in a while; a 17 foot whaler. On the occassions that we ventured out, we were able to fish in seas that relatives and friends in much larger boats would not even think of trying.
They are worth the price. I wish I had not had to sell it. I probably would have owned it another 15 years, considering the shape it was in for a 38 year old boat.
