For Sale: 1979 Boston Whaler Revenge with twin 1998 Johnson 115HP Outboards. Boat was originally used and kept in fresh water in Nevada for the first 10 years, then in a marina in Redondo Beach, California where I purchased it in 1992. The boat was shipped to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1993 and has been kept in the water at my dock ever since.
This boat needs a lot of TLC. My business, business travel and a second home have precluded me from giving this boat the attention that an older boat requires. The outboards underwent an extension service 3 years ago to remedy the effects of Ethanol gasoline and have recently developed several fuel leaks on starboard outboard which are likely due to the same concern.
The built-in fuel tank developed a leak in its top 2 years ago and has now been bypassed with a deck mounted 22 gallon poly fuel tank which is direct connected as the current fuel supply.
Hydraulic steering was added shortly after I purchased the boat in 1992 and continues to work very well.
An ICOM VHF Radio, dual batteries and automatic charger all work well along with dual automatic bilge pumps. Dual tachometers, temperature gauges and speedometer also all work (no depth sounder or GPS).
There is no trailer included with the boat. Buyer may need to arrange for towing to nearest boat launch approximately 1-1/2 mile away via New River at Cooley’s Landing.
Dropped price to $5000 on February 18th. Realize that this boat needs a lot of TLC or would make a good parts boat for another Whaler owner. I need to sell as soon as possible and am anxious to get another boat.

Uh, those look like 115hp outboards to me.

Masbama is correct. Outboards are 115HP. My mistake, posting has been corrected.

Is it 5k or 7500?

I dropped the price to $5000 yesterday. I travel for my business in a couple weeks and want to get the boat sold before then if possible.
