1968 13' Boston Whaler Sport with 1969 Johnson 2-cylinder, 2-stroke, 25 HP Johnson short shaft outboard and 1969 Tee-Nee trailer. The hull is a 1968 that was sold in 1969 in Cincinnati, OH. At that time it was powered with a 1969 2-cylinder Johnson 25 hp and placed on a 1969 Tee-Nee trailer....and that is exactly how the boat sits today. I purchased the boat a few years ago and it still had the OH registration decals on it. I have only used the boat in freshwater and it has never seen salt water, it has been strictly freshwater use.
The boat is in ridiculous original condition and I have never seen an un-restored boat this nice. All original gelcoat inside and out with no crazing, no bottom paint, original interior mahogany, ZERO added screws hole in the interior or in the wood, original bow/stern lights.
The boat didn't need need any work when I purchased it, but I am a meticulous person and wanted it to be perfect. So I compounded/waxed the interior and exterior, stripped the wood and applied 8 coats Epifanes classic varnish, replaced the wire rope for the steering system, blasted and powder-coated the steering wheel, re-chromed the steering bezel, replaced the points/water pump/lower unit oil in the outboard, had a custom canvas mooring cover built using the Mills gunwale clips, and replaced the rollers, bunks, hubs, bearings, lights, wheels, and tires on the trailer.
The boat runs great and is a great conversation piece either on the lake or on the trailer...it seems almost everyone can relate to or has a story about a 13' Boston Whaler. If you are looking for a mint original condition classic 13' Whaler, this is it.

I also have a 1992 25hp Johnson short shaft, electric start outboard that I would be willing to install on the boat if people are concerned about the original motor. The 1992 motor is a freshwater, low hour motor with original paint, decals, and controls.

Wow.
I will be in Southport in about a month. May come by to take a look when I am there if she's still yours. I will be in touch...

Hi. Do you ever go by Pittsburgh,PA ?
tcrane posted 06-27-2012 10:09 AM ET (US)
I currently work on the Eastern Shore of Maryland...that's only about 4 hours from Pittsburgh. I would be willing to bring the Whaler down from the house in Maine to Maryland if that helps? And there is a chance I will be in Pittsburgh the last week of August.

Still for sale....have had many interested parties, but all have cancelled looking at the boat citing non-concurrence from their spouse on buying "another" Whaler. I personally don't see anything wrong with owning multiple Whalers!
tcrane posted 07-19-2012 09:48 AM ET (US)
Now, listed on Ebay (#271020877647) and the reserve has already been met....Don't miss out on your chance to own this perfect Whaler!

I'm glad you seem to have found a buyer for what is the nicest 13 I have seen in years. I really wish I were in the market. I almost called last weekend just to window shop (I was in Boothbay already).
Good luck!

Thanks Whamblen....hope you enjoyed your time in Boothbay!

Absolutely stunning boat. I don't think I'd be able to part with her if she was mine. I, like the others, have a wife though that will not allow her to be mine either.
tcrane posted 07-23-2012 07:29 PM ET (US)
Sold!
Dick E posted 07-23-2012 08:44 PM ET (US)

tcrane posted 07-29-2012 08:34 AM ET (US)
I ended the auction early....sold the boat locally.
