Hey,

Beware of the Whittley and it's sterndrive and associated problems.

In that price range i'm guessing it is a OMC in the Whittley. Stay as far away as you can.

Has the Whittley lived in the water before (is it antifoulded?). If so, run Forrest ,run.

Regards

Darren

Make sure you go for a run in the whittley as i think you will go the haines once you have had a test drive. Great cruiceing boat but not the best sea boat imo. Go to the brisbane boat show and have a gook look around this week before you do anything.
