PROJECT 77

This Classic Boston Whaler 17’ Super Sport model was a limited production run, and this particular boat is from the last year of the model’s 1989 production. This is indeed a rare find!

BOAT HISTORY: We located this clean, freshwater, low hour, all-original Classic Boston Whaler 17’ Super Sport in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Originally purchased at Shep Brown’s Boat Basin in Meredith, New Hampshire, she was used exclusively on Central NH lakes. She wasn’t kept in the water and always trailered when not in use.

BOAT CONDITION: This 17’ Super Sport is in excellent original condition. The interior mahogany has been refinished with classic gloss marine varnish. All chrome and stainless-steel fittings and hardware are in excellent condition with no rust, corrosion, or pitting. She has never been kept in the water and never had any bottom paint.

MODEL HISTORY: The Classic Boston Whaler 17’ Super Sport model was introduced in 1984 and remained in production until 1989. Among the 17’ Classic Boston Whaler hulls, the Super Sport was the most expensive and highly optioned 17’ model available with a mahogany interior.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT: Super Sports feature a full wraparound stainless railing, upgraded mahogany interior including extended steering console with storage, forward thwart seat backrest, full width aft thwart seat backrest and molded storage compartment.

EXTRA OPTIONS: This Super Sport also has the factory optioned tan Boston Whaler battery box with Kevlok strap, Ritchie Explorer flush mount compass, Perko bow light/chock assembly with stainless pole stern light package, and new Wm J Mills Sunbrella full mooring cover (Jockey Red).

PROPULSION: She is equipped with a 1994 Johnson 3-cylinder 70hp outboard with variable rate oil injection, hydraulic power trim/tilt and electric start/choke. A full OMC gauge package is also installed to include tachometer, speedometer, trim gauge and ignition key switch/safety lanyard. She is equipped with the classic Morse MT-3 single lever engine control with red knob. The Johnson was only used for a few seasons before being winterized and placed into storage in the late 1990s. The motor is equipped with an hour meter clearly displaying only 55.9 hours of use since new! The motor has 120 psi compression across all 3 cylinders and operates/looks in new condition. The inline 3-cylinders have a reputation as one of OMC’s best outboards ever produced with excellent power/weight ratio. The Johnson has been fully serviced (water pump, spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel/water separator, carb clean/sync and gear oil) and is excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with zero rust/corrosion and retains glossy original paint.

TRAILER: She is fitted to her original Shore Land’r galvanized trailer with the Whaler prescribed keel rollers accompanied by carpeted side bunks.

TDC COMMENTS: The Classic Boston Whaler 17’ Super Sport was manufactured in much lower production numbers than the more common Montauk 17 and Newport 17 models. All Classic Boston Whaler 17 models in 1989 shared the same hull, but had various interior configurations. Locating an original, unmodified Super Sport 17 without bottom paint in excellent condition is quite difficult. The Super Sport 17 boasts a significant amount of mahogany wood that looks spectacular on the lake, bay, river, or ocean. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own the last production year Super Sport 17 in excellent condition with an extremely low hour motor.

As always, these boats go fast; contact TDC Marine for inquiries about this project, or another Classic Boston Whaler model.

PROJECT 71

Behold a quite rare, first year Montauk!

BOAT HISTORY: We located this all-original 1973 Classic Boston Whaler 16’ Montauk just north of Detroit in Washington, Michigan from the second owner. The original owner occasionally used her on Lake St. Clair and always kept her in a barn west of Detroit. The second owner acquired her out of that barn in 1990. The boat moved to Tennessee in 1992 and back to Michigan in 2007, where she was used on freshwater reservoirs in Tennessee and then on Lakes Huron/St. Clair. This rare, first-year Classic Boston Whaler Montauk checks so many of our “boxes;” she has never seen saltwater, has always been stored inside, has not been modified in any way, and retains all of her original components.

MODEL HISTORY: The Classic Boston Whaler Eastport and the Classic Boston Whaler Nauset wooden center consoles transitioned from standard production to custom order only in 1973. Boston Whaler simultaneously launched the Montauk-I model, boasting a molded fiberglass center console and trademark Boston Whaler Reversible Pilot Seat, adapted to the 16-foot hull. This same year (1973 ) was the first year of the desert tan hull color and the second year of the change from a white glue-on rub rail to a 3-piece rub rail system with black insert.

Other original standard features for the Montauk include stainless steel side railings, Perko bow light, Kainer stainless steel pole stern light, and Schmitt stainless-steel steering wheel.

BOAT OPTIONS: This particular Classic Boston Whaler Montauk is factory-optioned with the forward stainless steel bow railing, fiberglass forward casting deck with three storage compartments and teak covers, Wm J Mills forward shelter, flytop (bimini) and zip in windshield. Additional options include a custom heavy duty canvas boat cover, and Igloo 94 qt marine cooler.

PROPULSION: She is equipped with a highly desirable, very low hour 1992 Yamaha 90hp inline 3-cylinder two-stroke, Precision-Blend, electric start/choke outboard with power tilt/trim and factory Yamaha multi-function tachometer. The 3-cylinder Yamaha 90s are known as reliable motors and highly desirable for the Classic Boston Whaler 16’ hull due to their high power/weight ratio. The two-stroke 90s have a reputation as one of Yamaha’s best outboards ever produced. This Yamaha has been fully serviced and is excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with zero rust/corrosion and retains glossy original paint.

TRAILER: Rounding out the package is the original Little Dude trailer in excellent condition with new tires, wheels, bearings, and bearing buddies.

TDC MARINE COMMENTS: All-original, strictly freshwater Classic Boston Whaler Montauk models retaining all of their original features, that have not been modified or abused, are extremely difficult to come by. This rare, first-year Montauk will turn heads wherever she goes and, more importantly, will bring endless enjoyment to her next family.

As always, these boats go fast; contact TDC Marine for inquiries about this project, or another Classic Boston Whaler model.

PROJECT 51

This is incredible, well-preserved, all-original 13’ Classic Boston Whaler Sport came from the Finger Lakes region of Central New York State and is one of the best original 13’ Sports that we have located. Locating Whalers of this caliber is difficult and often requires traveling to preserve a piece of history. This Sport was purchased from the widow of the original owner. The boat was purchased from Johnson Boat Yard and Marina in Ithaca, NY on August 17, 1970. The boat was used approximately two weeks every summer until the late 1990s. She was never kept in the water and always stored in a barn on the owner’s property. From the late 1990s through 2022 she was kept in the barn, commissioned every spring and winterized every fall. A hull stencil of 2A3624 clearly denotes her as a 1970.

Originally outfitted in 1970 with a Mercury 35hp outboard, the owner traded the 35hp Mercury in 1973 for a new 1973 Mercury 50hp outboard. The trailer is the original 1970 Sears, Roebuck and Company trailer. Everything on the boat is as originally delivered and not refinished. Original varnish, bow & stern lights, steering wheel, Mills canvas cover, battery box, gas tank, gas tank mat etc.

TDC Marine will be refinishing the mahogany interior. The outboard has been fully serviced (gearcase seals rebuilt, gearcase oil, thermostats, spark plugs, fuel filter, carbs cleaned/tuned) retains the original paint, has not been touched up and showcases the limited use. There are zero added screw holes in the interior mahogany or fiberglass from non-standard equipment.

This boat was optioned with bow and stern navigation lights, Mercury tachometer, Airguide speedometer, gas tank mats and stainless steel side railings. This boat comes complete with all of the original, 1970 purchase and 1973 re-power paperwork.

This all-original, 13’ Classic Boston Whaler Sport truly belongs in a museum and is nearly impossible to find in such impeccable, original condition.

This incredibly well-preserved 1966 Classic Boston Whaler 13’ Sport originates from Dayton, Ohio, but was exclusively used on Douglas Lake in Pellston, Michigan during summers. Finding Whalers of this caliber can be difficult and often requires travelling to preserve a piece of history. Purchased from the son of the original owner, she was used exclusively by one family at their summer cottage in northern Michigan for a few weeks every summer until the late 1990s. This boat was never kept in the water and always stored in a garage.

From the late 1990s through 2023, this 1966 13’ Sport was kept in a barn unused, except during the summer of 2011. Her hull stencil clearly denotes her as a 1966. Originally outfitted in 1966 with a Johnson 33hp outboard, the family re-powered her in 2011 with a new Honda 30hp (BF30DKSRT) 4-stroke, short shaft outboard with power trim/tilt. The BF30D outboard is still produced today and is known for its lightweight, power, and reliability. It is quite rare to locate a remote, short shaft outboard (required for a pre-1973 classic 13 notched transom) with hydraulic power trim/tilt. The boat was used for a few weeks in the summer of 2011 after re-powering for engine break-in for a total of less than 30 hours (2.5 tanks of non-ethanol fuel). It has remained in storage unused since 2011.

The motor was winterized and commissioned each spring and has just been fully serviced to include water pump, thermostat, gear oil, engine oil, and carburetor clean/adjustment. The trailer is the original 1966 Tee-Nee with new wiring harness and lights, coupler, winch, hubs, wheels, and tires. The boat retains the original gelcoat (inside and out), mahogany interior, bow and stern lights, side rails, and Nautalloy steering wheel. There are no added screw holes in the interior or exterior fiberglass from non-standard equipment and the transom has never been drilled for a transducer. The family had a brand new, custom Sunbrella mooring cover and bimini top with boot made in 2017, which are in new condition, having never been used. This Sport 13 is highly attractive due to its originality and benefit of a low hour, newer outboard with power trim/tilt.

BOAT HISTORY: The original owner purchased this Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 22 new in Central Pennsylvania, where she was used sparingly on the Susquehanna River and trailered when not in use. The second owner purchased her in 1995 and enjoyed summer outings with his grandchildren on the Upper Chesapeake Bay, where she was dry-rack stored. During the off-season, she was always stored indoors.

MODEL HISTORY: The Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 22 (1979–1993) is an icon among Boston Whaler models. When introduced in 1979, she was the largest Boston Whaler hull produced to date. The factory catalogue described her as "the most brutally powerful machine ever to bear the Boston Whaler name."

The classic 22-foot hull retains the general design of earlier Boston Whaler models, with a runner or vestigial sponson on each side of the keel. These runners deflect spray downward and outboard while contributing lift as the hull transitions onto plane. Their lines continue forward before turning upward and inward at the bow stem, where they meet to form the distinctive "Whaler smirk," resembling a smile with downturned corners when viewed head-on.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT: Standard Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 22' factory equipment includes a 77-gallon fuel tank; 18" stainless-steel destroyer steering wheel; four forward lockers with fiberglass covers; teak gunwale boards; under-gunwale rod racks; bow eyes; bow bitt; recessed aft cleats with hawsepipe; pair of flush-mounted rod holders; fiberglass console with teak access doors, dash panel, door locks, Plexiglas windscreen and stainless-steel rail; mechanical steering with stainless-steel wheel; wiring panel with two pre-wired accessory switches, fuses and buss bar; fire extinguisher; navigation lights; and stainless-steel bow rail.

EXTRA OPTIONS: This Outrage 22' is factory-optioned with the highly desirable Super Deluxe Center Console, measuring 1' longer and 10" wider than the standard console. Features include lockable teak side doors, two teak storage bins, lower storage drawer, sliding Lexan access doors to the radio compartment, dash panel, wiring panel with two switches and fuses, aluminum-framed safety glass windshield, deluxe stainless-steel console rail, recessed fire extinguisher pocket, international navigation lights, and fire extinguisher.

Additional factory options include console rod holders, 94-quart Igloo cooler, fold-down stern seat, outriggers, spring-line cleats, stainless-steel side grab rails, console cover, Ritchie flush-mounted Helmsman compass, dual battery switches, Wm. J. Mills Suntop (bimini), hydraulic steering, Garmin GPS/sounder combination, and full boat cover.

PROPULSION: She was repowered in 2016 with twin Evinrude E-TEC 115-hp high-pressure direct fuel-injected outboard motors. Equipment includes the BRP E-TEC Smart Gauge option, twin four-blade Michigan Wheel stainless-steel propellers, and a spare set of three-blade OMC Renegade stainless-steel propellers.

The Evinrude E-TECs offer an excellent power-to-weight ratio, are very simple to maintain, and operate as quietly as or quieter than four-stroke outboards, with lower emissions than a four-stroke.

At the time of repowering, the original internal fuel tank was removed and replaced with a brand-new, OEM-specification 80-gallon stainless-steel center tank. All fuel and vent lines were replaced with upgraded ethanol-resistant hoses, and both soft-patch fiberglass deck sections were re-cored.

Both motors have received their first 300-hour service and remain in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. They look and run like new and, when properly maintained, will provide many years of reliable operation and enjoyment.

TRAILER: She is accompanied by a 2004 Load-Rite galvanized dual-axle trailer with keel rollers, side bunks, and hydraulic disc brakes on both axles.

TDC COMMENTS: This Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 22 rides extremely well offshore and offers excellent security for children with her stainless-steel side rails and fold-down full-width stern seat.

This is a fine example of an original, highly optioned Classic Boston Whaler 22' Outrage, retaining its desirable factory configuration while benefiting from newer twin Evinrude E-TEC power and an upgraded 80-gallon stainless-steel fuel tank.

Anticipated to be ready to splash for the 2027 boating season, this impressive Outrage 22 is sure to make you the envy of the harbor for years to come!

BOAT HISTORY: This 1998 Classic Boston Whaler 40th Anniversary Edition 13' is an excellent example of this highly desirable, limited-production model. We located this clean, low-hour, original Anniversary Edition near the Virginia/North Carolina border and acquired her from the second owner. She was used sparingly by both owners, exclusively on Lake Gaston, and always kept in climate-controlled storage when not in use.

BOAT CONDITION: This 40th Anniversary Edition 13' remains in excellent original condition. The interior mahogany has been refinished with classic high-gloss marine varnish. All chrome and stainless-steel fittings and hardware remain in excellent condition. She has never been kept in the water and has never received bottom paint.

MODEL HISTORY: To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the classic 13-foot Boston Whaler, the factory introduced a special limited edition in 1998, with only 250 hulls produced. The gelcoat colors returned to the original white hull and blue interior. Highly polished mahogany seats and console also returned, featuring a more modern design and improved dashboard area. A brass plate on the dashboard identified each hull's production number.

The white rub rails remained faithful to the original design, while the mahogany received a UV-inhibiting finish to improve wear. The stainless-steel side rail configuration was also updated, mounting directly to the topsides rather than inboard to the cockpit.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT: The 40th Anniversary Edition 13' came standard with Unsinkable Unibond™ construction for safety and unsurpassed durability; yacht-quality components including 316-grade stainless-steel side rails, tinned copper wiring, and chrome-plated stainless fasteners; twin-sponson hull design for optimum stability; low-maintenance light blue gelcoat interior; mahogany side console and bench seats with ultraviolet coating for minimal maintenance; and heavy-duty white rub rail and white steering wheel.

EXTRA OPTIONS: This 40th Anniversary Edition 13' is equipped with a full OEM cushion package in like-new condition.

PROPULSION: This 1998 Classic Boston Whaler 40th Anniversary Edition 13' is equipped with a low-hour, highly desirable and reliable 3-cylinder Mercury 40-hp two-stroke oil-injected outboard motor, featuring electric start, electric choke, and power trim/tilt.

TRAILER: She is fitted to her original Load Rite galvanized trailer, featuring the Whaler-prescribed keel rollers accompanied by carpeted side bunks.

TDC COMMENTS: The Classic Boston Whaler 40th Anniversary Edition 13' Sport features many highly desirable details, including stainless-steel side railings, beautifully finished mahogany interior, classic blue interior gelcoat, and full OEM cushion package.

With only 250 hulls produced, finding an original, unmodified 40th Anniversary 13' without bottom paint and in excellent condition is extremely difficult. This limited-production model combines the timeless styling of the original 13-foot Whaler with the refinements of the Anniversary Edition.

For anyone seeking a Classic Boston Whaler 40th Anniversary 13' for sale, don't miss the opportunity to own this exceptional, low-hour example in excellent condition.

(additional photos posting soon)

BOAT HISTORY: We acquired this 1988 Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 from its third owner in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. She has been lift- or rack-kept on Cape Cod since new, entering the water only when in use. She has seen limited use throughout her life.

BOAT CONDITION: She remains in very nice, original, unmodified condition, with no history of damage or repairs. Her teak trim is solid and well-preserved, as is her original interior upholstery. The original interior and exterior gelcoat retain an attractive shine, without the crazing commonly found on older Boston Whalers. Her hull bottom was recently soda-blasted to remove the existing bottom paint, then barrier-coated and top-coated to ensure the bottom is protected if kept in the water.

MODEL HISTORY: The Outrage 18 (1981–1990) is a true classic among the many models produced by Boston Whaler. The hull retained the refined bow lines and classic "smirk," formed by carrying the runners upward and across the bow. The resulting Outrage 18 hull provides excellent lateral stability while offering a substantially improved ride through waves and chop compared with the 17-foot hull. The Outrage 18 was designed to operate in big waves and big water, with the capability to go offshore and fish in the ocean. The cockpit also differs slightly from those of smaller Whaler models, with greater freeboard and a deeper cockpit.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT: Standard Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18 features include a console with teak access doors, dash panel, locks, Plexiglas windscreen, stainless-steel steering wheel, switch panel with two pre-wired accessory switches, fuses and buss bar, and stainless-steel console rail; 63-gallon fuel tank; stainless-steel bow rail; two swivel seats; recessed aft cleats with hawsepipe; rod racks; pair of flush-mounted rod holders; bow locker with fiberglass cover; teak gunwale boards; international navigation lights; fire extinguisher; bow bitt; lifting eyes; battery box with hold-down strap; and heavy-duty rub rail.

The cockpit features the standard Whaler center console and offered a choice of seating arrangements, principally the standard twin swivel seats, optional teak Reversible Pilot Seat, or optional leaning post. A full-width upholstered bench seat could be ordered to provide additional seating in the stern, while a cooler seat and bow cushions could augment seating forward of the console.

The Outrage 18 was one of the smallest boats to offer an integral fuel system. Its generous 63-gallon fuel capacity gave the Outrage 18 the ability to make long trips without refueling.

EXTRA OPTIONS: Factory options on this 1988 Outrage 18 include the reversible pilot seat with cushioned base, Ritchie Navigator flush-mounted lighted compass, recessed teak fire extinguisher pocket, Igloo 94-quart cooler with cushion and mahogany deck-mounted cooler chocks, console rod holders with backrest cushions, and fiberglass gunwales with non-skid. Additional options include a full boat cover and new Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 GPS chartplotter/fishfinder.

PROPULSION: Originally rigged with a 1988 Johnson 150-hp outboard, she was repowered in 2012 with a highly desirable Evinrude E-TEC 150-hp high-pressure, direct fuel-injected, electric-start outboard with power trim/tilt, BRP SystemCheck gauge, and a full set of OMC/BRP gauges (tachometer, speedometer, trim position, and battery ammeter).

The Evinrude E-TECs have an excellent power-to-weight ratio, are very simple to maintain, and are as quiet as or quieter than four-stroke outboards, with lower emissions than a four-stroke. The motor has been expertly maintained, remains in excellent condition, and runs like new. When properly maintained, these motors will provide many years of reliable operation and enjoyment.

The 150-hp E-TEC offers the best power-to-weight ratio and technology of all available outboards for the classic 18' Outrage hull.

TRAILER: She is fitted to a new 2027 aluminum Load Rite articulating bunk (AB) trailer, model LR-AB203100102.

TDC COMMENTS: This is a very nice example of an original, unmodified Classic Boston Whaler Outrage 18, featuring newer Evinrude E-TEC power and a brand-new aluminum Load Rite trailer. For anyone seeking a classic Boston Whaler 18' Outrage for sale, this well-preserved example offers an excellent combination of originality, desirable propulsion, and modern trailer equipment. She will be ready to provide many years of enjoyment on the water.
