Loaded question I love all the above…Love offshore fishing, just caught my first Blue Marlin in the Abacos but I also love spending long weekends on the boat with my 3 and 6-year-old daughters.  Tubing behind the Whaler, offshore fishing, camping on the boat watching Disney and eating popcorn, grilling hamburgers and hot dogs, or just hanging at a sand bar / building sandcastles with my girls / hanging out floating and entertaining friends!

New Smyrna Beach and the Bahamas

What’s your favorite memory on your Whaler?

Catching a Blue Marlin in the Bahamas but nothing tops spend time on the boat with my family! 

Any other notes/tidbits?

Always feel safe and comfortable in my Whaler.  People cannot believe it’s a 1999!  I have put over 140 hours on the boat and new motors in 4 months.  My father’s 1st new boat he ever purchased was a 1986 Boston Whaler 17 Super Sport.  We kept the boat in Mayport in Jacksonville and would go offshore fishing up to 50 miles.  She now hangs in our boat house in Lake Rabun in North Georgia and still runs and looks as good as the day he bought it.
