1984 18' Outrage
PROJECT 41
The Outrage 18 (1981-1990) is a true classic amid the many models of Boston Whaler boats. The hull shape retained the refined bow lines with the classic "smirk" (formed by conveying the line of the runners upwards and across the bow). The resulting Outrage 18 hull was able to provide excellent lateral stability, only offered much improved ride in waves and chop compared with the 17-foot hull. The Outrage eighteen was designed for operating in big waves and large water, to be able to go offshore and fish in the body of water. The cockpit of the Outrage xviii is also slightly different from the smaller boats. There is more freeboard in the hull and thus there is a deeper cockpit.
The standard Outrage 18 features include the standard console with teak admission doors, dash panel, locks, plexiglass windscreen, stainless steering wheel, switch panel with 2 pre-wired accompaniment switches, fuses and buss bar. Additional standard features include stainless railings, a 63-gallon fuel tank, two swivel seats, recessed aft cleats with hawse pipe, rod racks, pair of flush-mounted rod holders, bow locker with fiberglass cover, teak gunwale boards, international navigation lights, fire extinguisher, bow bitt, lifting optics, battery box with hold-down strap and a heavy-duty rub rail.
The cockpit features the standard Whaler center console and offered a selection of seating arrangements, principally either the standard twin hinge seats, optional teak reversible pilot seat, or optional leaning post. A full-width upholstered demote seat could exist ordered to provide more seating in the stern. A cooler seat and bow cushions could broaden seating forward of the console. The Outrage 18 was one of the smallest boat to offer an integral fuel system. This large fuel chapters (63-gallons) gave the Outrage 18 the ability to make long trips without refueling.
This particular Outrage was located from the original owner in Noon, North Carolina where it was used exclusively on lakes in the area and has never seen saltwater. It was always trailered when not in use, didn't spend ane night in the water and was stored in a heated garage. The original condition is absolutely incredible. This Outrage was repowered from the original OMC engine in 2004 to a new Honda BF150 outboard with EFI, VTEC, hydraulic steering and stainless steel prop. The gunkhole was used very sparingly and merely has 173 original hours on the Honda motor. Manufacturing plant options include the reversible pilot seat with cushioned base and cushioned backrest (very rare on an Outrage), full width upholstered stern seat, and forward cooler with upholstered seat absorber and rod holder dorsum cushions, and a Wm J Mills fly top canvas set.

1969 Menemsha
Project 7
The Menemsha was built on the 16' classic Whaler hull and was marketed every bit Boston Whaler's cabin cruiser. This rare Menemsha, merely an estimated 235 built from '65-'72, was located only south of Albany, NY and had been enjoyed by a few owners in the Hudson Valley and Adirondack region of upstate New York. When located, the original fiberglass molded helm seat and aft storage tray had been removed along with the original equipment marine sanitation device. Nevertheless, the remainder of the interior remained original and needed attention. Since the marine sanitation device and associated through hull fittings had been removed, we closed off all through hull fittings, faired the hull and applied Awlgrip to the outside gelcoat. The interior and cabin retain their original gelcoat. We repaired and refinished all interior mahogany and constructed a helm leaning post with storage and added a stern seat that was available equally an option to the sixteen' hull and standard on the Eastport Model. This very unique sixteen' model was a fun projection and the end product came out fantastic. The new owner was ecstatic and nosotros are happy to take preserved this very elusive and uncommon Boston Whaler.
1987 17' Newport
PROJECT half-dozen
This all original 17' Newport was located in a garage in Brooklyn, NY where it sabbatum unused since 1989. We acquired the Newport from the original owner who used the boat merely a handful of times in Long Isle Sound and and so parked it in his garage. The 17' Newport was introduced in 1975 and produced until 1990. The Newport was congenital on the aforementioned 17' hull as the very popular eye console Montauk, but was intended to be a more than family unit friendly platform for fishing, skiing, cruising and to compete with bow riders. The standard Newport model featured a molded fiberglass side console with windscreen, wide fiberglass gunnels with interior storage, forwards low profile stainless bow railing with windscreen, three slice rubrail with scarlet cherry insert, two forward upholstered saucepan seats and reversible pilot seat with padded backrest. This item Newport was optioned from the factory with an upholstered igloo cooler, replacing the reversible pilot seat and rear casting platform with a livewell manufacturing plant cushion set, and removable towing pylon for skiing. The original 1987 Johnson outboard was frozen from years of storage and not worth repairing, so we re-powered with a new three-cylinder 90hp Yamaha 2-stroke outboard with power trim/tilt. The 90hp Yamaha offers the best power/weight ratio of all available outboards for the 17' hull and has a reputation every bit one on Yamaha's best outboards ever produced. This Newport is absolutely perfect and in as new condition. This rare Newport is an excellent layout for family unit adventures on the water
1993 17' Outrage
Projection 5
The 17' Outrage was produced from 1990-1995 and is a slightly shorter version of the archetype eighteen' Outrage hull designed by Bob Dougherty. The 17' Outrage offers a substantially different hull pattern with a deeper vee to provide a smoother ride in chop. The 17' Outrage included a fiberglass heart console with lockable electronics box, forward igloo libation with cushioned seat and backrest, wide fiberglass molded gunnels, internal fuel tank, reversible pilot seat with cushioned backrest and two molded-in stern seats. This 1993 Outrage also included custom rear stern seat railings, side Whaler catch rails and a Wm J. Mills bimini w/boot. The Outrage was caused from the original owner near Galena, MD where she was used in the Sassafras River. She is all original and powered by a 1993 115hp Johnson 2-stroke oil injected outboard. This is a fine example of the limited production 17' Outrage in impeccable original condition.
1985 xiii' Super Sport
PROJECT 4
This very clean and original Super Sport was located in central Maine where information technology had 2 previous owners. Both owners used the Super Sport strictly in Maine's freshwater inland lakes. The 13' Super Sport model was introduced in 1985 and remained in production until 1994. In 1985, the Super Sport was the well-nigh highly optioned xiii' model available from Whaler. Super Sports received a full wraparound stainless railing, upgraded mahogany interior including extended side steering panel with forrad thwart seat backrest, full width aft thwart seat backrest with molded storage compartment, and bow and stern navigation lights as standard equipment. This 1985 Super Sport is equipped with a low hour, highly desirable and reliable 3-cylinder 40hp Yamaha two-stroke oil injected outboard with power trim/tilt.

1971 13' Sport
Project ii
The Sport model was available with a rare center steering option from '71-'76 which added a full width centre steering panel to the base of operations Sport interior. The Sport Center Steering model was only produced for the '71 and '72 model yr with a white hull and blueish interior as Whaler transitioned to tan hulls in 1973. This freshwater 1971 thirteen' Sport Heart Steering model was located in Coastal Maine and had been used sparingly on a lake in Lincolnville for her entire 45+ years. The Sport, 20hp Mercury outboard and Dilly trailer are all original 1971. Of note is the meaning new hull change that occurred in 1971. The new hull pattern affectionately added the "smirk" to the forwards portion of the hull, added a revised motor splashwell design, and added a new 3-slice rubrail with black insert that would be standard on Whalers 17' and below through the mid 1990s. The 20hp Mercury outboard weighs less than 100 pounds and provides plenty of power to plane with 3 adults. The minimum horsepower for the classic 13' hull is 9hp with the maximum being 40hp. This is a very rare Sport model in infrequent original condition.
1967 sixteen' Nauset
Projection 1
This very rare, all original Nauset was purchased from the original owner near Bay City, MI. The Nauset was used exclusively for salmon fishing on Lake Michigan and was always trailered and store inside for fifty years. This particular Nauset was ordered with the reversible airplane pilot seat and Ritchie compass options. Nausets came standard with a fixed pilot seat and could be upgraded to the reversible pilot seat that came standard on the Sakonnet model. The Nauset began the center console revolution in the boating industry. Prior to the Whaler 16' heart consoles (Nauset, Sakonnet, Eastport), the center console production boat did non exist. This Nauset retains the original Blend Marine trailer. We re-powered the Nauset with a xc-hp Evinrude Due east-TEC that has the best power/weight ratio of current production outboard motors.
