PROJECT 38
Yes, this is actually a Boston Whaler! Boston Whaler produced the ultra-iconic, 15' Mischief model to celebrate their 30th birthday in 1988. The Mischief was produced for the 1989 and 1990 model years and began with a standard 15' hull to which a top fiberglass deck shell was added, front upholstered bucket seats, rear upholstered bench seat, side panel upholstery, rear gull wing storage compartments, ski tow pylon, integral flip out cockpit boarding ladder, glove box and sport style steering wheel. 235 Mischiefs were produced, of which 139 were red.
This all original 15' Mischief was located in Newton, NJ where it sat unused in a garage since 1991. We acquired the Mischief from the original owner who purchased it off the floor of the Jacob Javits Center during the 1990 NY Boat Show. The Mischief was used for one season in Barnegat Bay, NJ and then winterized and placed into the garage where we located her in 2018. There are less than 20 original hours on the hull and motor. She has never spent a night in the water and was always trailered and garage stored after every use. This 1989 Mischief is equipped with a low hour, highly desirable and reliable 3-cylinder Yamaha 70hp 2-stroke oil injected outboard with electric start, choke and power trim/tilt. The 70hp Yamaha offers the best power/weight ratio of all available outboards for the 15' hull and has a reputation as one on Yamaha's best outboards ever produced. Factory options include a Wm J. Mills cockpit cover, aftermarket full boat cover and canvas motor cover.
This truly mint condition Mischief is a fun, rare and unique Whaler that celebrates 30 years of Whaler production and will turn heads wherever she goes. It will be hard to let go of this one!
