Boston Whaler Super Sport

1987 Boston Whaler Super Sport

Up for sale is my personal boat that I have used for the past few years. Unfortunately it is time for me to sell as I am no longer able to fully enjoy this beautiful Whaler due to my new job. I have had a wonderful time restoring this classic hull and am truly sad to see it go. However, I would be much happier to see it go to a new happy family who can enjoy it more than I can.

This is a Super Sport model that is fairly rare and based off the Montauk hull. It is a dual console, but the previous owner removed the passenger console to make the deck more easily accessible. The hull handles the water great and cuts through the waves relatively well. I have personally had this boat 10-15 miles off shore for some light fishing and it has faired surprisingly well. The boat has been stored on the trailer since I've owned it and has always been flushed after use in the ocean (which was rare) without exception. I am very meticulous, so rest assured if it was broken it was fixed. This boat has never been in the water without being cleaned inside and out after use. It has been stored inside during the winters in a heated garage.

Since I have owned itI have replaced the following:

• Custom Oak accents and console (w/ 6 coats of marine-grade varnish)
• Custom cushions
• Custom speaker enclosures w/ 4 Rockford Fosgate 8in speakers
• Sony waterproof CD player w/iPod hookup & remote control
• Stainless steel Faria guages
• Garmin GPSmap 541s w/optional transom-mounted transmitter
• Rub rail
• Bottom paint and pin striping
• Interior paint
• Stainless steel bow light and anchor guide
• Stainless steel cleats (4)
• Stainless steel boarding ladder
• New galvanized anchor w/50 ft line
• New 12 gallon fuel tank
• (3) Marine-grade batteries (2 for engine, 1 for electronics)
• Dual battery switch
• Coca Cola bottle opener
• American flag
• Bimini top with upward brace and full cover
• Full Mooring cover

The hull is in great shape with just a few scuffs and scratches barely noticeable unless up close (the worst of which is shown in photos). I did the bottom paint and pinstriping this spring. I did the rub rail last year. The deck is solid as a rock and does not have any soft spots whatsoever. I glassed in some screw holes from the old gas tank and battery tie-downs and some fishing gear that the previous owner had installed, and as a result decided to paint the entire interior and transom so it would match. I tore all the wiring out and installed new wires and a new fuse box and battery switch this winter. The upholstery was done last year and is in new condition. It has a current CT registration good until 2015.

1984 Mercury 90hp "Tower of Power"

The motor is a 1984 Mercury "Tower of Power" 90hp. I bought the motor and installed it myself in early 2013. In preparation for installation we cleaned the carburetors, changed the spark plugs, changed the lower end oil, changed the hydraulic oil,added a brand new 19 pitch aluminum prop (and will include a 21 pitch stainless as well),and greased the fittings. This motor has given me zero (0) problems since I have owned it and it starts right up every time. The power that this straight-6 cylinder delivers is unlike any modern engine and it is a true head turner, especially when she's screaming down the river at 40mph. I can't tell you how many compliments I have gotten on this motor (and boat) since I've owned it. There are very few around in working order and in this condition.I can provide videos with this motor running in and out of the water upon request.

Galvanized Trailer

The trailer is in good shape and has been used regularly for the past year as I have not kept the boat in the water. I regularly make trips to the CT River which is about an hour from my house and have never had any problems. The tires are a few years old and have plenty of tread. The bearings were done last September as well as the lights.

This is an auction style listing with a very reasonable reserve price. Boat is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. This is not a new boat, so please do not expect it to be free of general wear and tear. That being said, it has been a great boat to me and has never left me stranded on the water. I am willing to do a sea trial for potential serious buyers. Boat is being sold as-is, so please ask as many questions as you would like before the end of auction. Feel free to contact me about seeing the boat in person, in fact, I prefer if you do so to avoid any issues after the sale. GOOD LUCK BIDDING!
