Re: Assessment of c.1984 CENTER CONSOLE 15 with 70-HP

By original I mean no changes to the console, seating, etc. I would change the engine and electronics. Those are minor updates really. Not changing the overall boat. To clarify, I wouldn't want to add or remove seating, change the console, add/remove railing. Stuff like that. I want it to still be a...

Re: Assessment of c.1984 CENTER CONSOLE 15 with 70-HP

Another question I was thinking about. Is there any way to add value to this boat? Obviously repowering. But other than that? I would do the basic TLC and maybe redo the wood. I want to add a bow cushion and possibly upgrade the electronics. What would make it a top dollar unit? What is top dollar f...

Re: Assessment of c.1984 CENTER CONSOLE 15 with 70-HP

Looked for the 15 center console for a couple years and they all sold very quick and I consider them to be the holy grail of the Whaler 15 models. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase the one you've shared if it checks out. The John-Rude motors are great motors and simple, but they tend to be a little l...

I also have a compression gauge and might even get my buddy to go with me for a survey.

Re: Assessment of asking price

jimh--thanks for the response. The boat is on a nice, titled trailer. The Johnson 70-HP engine does have power trim--not sure on electric-start. It is said to be well maintained and runs excellent. The boat comes with a working depth finder but probably dated. The boat has a nice Bimini top, several...

Assessment of c.1984 CENTER CONSOLE 15 with 70-HP

Hello all, I have been looking for a Center Console for six months. I wanted to hold off until winter to get a better deal. I live on a lake. I found a 1984 Boston Whaler 15 Sport Center Console near me with a Johnson 70-HP engine. This is a rare 15-footer. Asking price is $5,000, he dropped down to...
