1969 13' Boston Whaler with Venture Trailer.

The 13-foot hull was the original Boston Whaler boat, the one that started it all.

Check out continuouswave dot com for more info on the amazing 13'

In 1958 Boston Whaler introduced a 13-foot utility boat that would soon become the most succesful recreational boat of all time. It was the Volkswagon Beetle of boating.

Fiberglass boats were just being brought to the recreational market in 1958. Compared to other boats of that time, the Boston Whaler offered exceptional utility. The complex shape of the hull could never have been mass produced in wood or aluminum, but its unique design allowed the ride and stability of a much larger boat. The foam filled construction kept the hull weight low, and at the same time provided unmatched floatation. The boat was truly unsinkable. Low weight made for good performance with small horsepower motors, too. The fiberglass laminate and gelcoat made for simple maintenance, while the varnished mahogany seats and trim lent a yachty look to the otherwise spartan boat. The molded liner provided a broad flat interior simply unheard of in a 13-foot boat, and by placing the deck floor above the waterline, the cockpit was also self-draining.

The design of the 13-foot Whaler was extraordinarily innovative, and its continued production over a 40 year span is testimony to that. It is nearly indestructable--almost every Whaler-13 made is still afloat--yet the market for it seems beyond saturation. Year after year, the 13-foot Whaler is a strong seller.

We stripped the bottom paint, well really it was all over so not just the bottom. You can see by the pictures how much we had to do.

If you want a cheap little whaler that needs some TLC, you can't beat this one.
