PROJECT 61
(photos posting soon…)
Get ready for yet another impeccably maintained and turn-key Classic Boston Whaler! This clean, low hour and original 1985 15’Super Sport was located just north of Detroit, Michigan from the original owner. This Super Sport was used only one week per year for family vacations to Walloon Lake outside Charlevoix, Michigan. For the other 51 weeks of the year, she was kept in a climate-controlled garage.
The Boston Whaler 15’ Super Sport model was introduced in 1985 and remained in production until 1994. In 1985, the Super Sport was the most highly optioned 15’ model available from Boston Whaler with a mahogany interior. Super Sports received a full wraparound stainless railing, upgraded mahogany interior including extended side steering console with forward thwart seat backrest, full width aft thwart seat backrest with molded storage compartment, and bow and stern navigation lights as standard equipment.
This 15’ Super Sport is optioned with dual Boston Whaler rubber gas tank mats, Raytheon depth sounder/fish finder, Ritchie flush mount compass and William J. Mills custom mooring cover. She maintains her original varnish on the mahogany interior and rare tan Boston Whaler battery box with Kevlok strap.
She is equipped with her original 1985 Johnson 3-cylinder 70hp outboard equipped with a Variable Ratio Oil (VRO) injection system with 1.8-gallon external reservoir oil tank, hydraulic power trim/tilt, electric start/choke, OMC tachometer, OMC water pressure and OMC trim/tilt gauge. The motor has 120 psi compression across all 3 cylinders. The OMC 3-cylinder motors are known for their reliability and are highly desirable for the classic 15’ hull due to their very high power/weight ratio. The inline 3-cylinders have a reputation as one of OMC’s best outboards ever produced. This Johnson outboard has been fully serviced and is excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition with zero rust/corrosion and still has the glossy original paint.
Rounding out the package is a Shore Land galvanized trailer in excellent condition with new tires and wheels, bearings re-packed, bearing buddies and spare tire.
This impeccably maintained and highly sought-after Classic Boston Whaler 15’ Super Sport is ready to be enjoyed by her next family. This boat is another example of a Classic Boston Whaler that is challenging to locate in such amazing original condition.
