Re: 1988 Whitley Cherokee 530 or 1972 Savage Atlantic 5.4m
The savage has a shallow V at around 15 deg. The whittle has 19 deg, commonly a boat with 20 deg plus is considered deep V. The whittley is a much better hull design and 19 deg V is certainly a big improvement over the savage. Yes 5k max for the savage, the motor has some value the hull and trailer...

Re: 1988 Whitley Cherokee 530 or 1972 Savage Atlantic 5.4m
Whittey has a deep V and will be a much better handling boat. The Savage Atlantic has a pretty shallow V, I have seen the add and the Savage is worth 5k max. It’s saying it’s a moderate v hull instead of the deep for the Whitley and Savage Atlantic has the deep v hull. 5k really? Others I’ve seen i...

Re: 1988 Whitley Cherokee 530 or 1972 Savage Atlantic 5.4m
By looks of it, it’s been fixed up used once and then sold to dealer, maybe a trade in or the wife’s cracked it about money spent.

Re: 1988 Whitley Cherokee 530 or 1972 Savage Atlantic 5.4m
Whitley would be by far the better boat. But both are old and not worth much, whitley would be worth around 8k pending electronics. The electronics are pretty good on it, being from a dealer too they’d have to be I’d say. Looking at going with that due to 6 seats and couple other extras like a half...
