The new 110 Sport must be in production. There are now new photographs at whaler.com at:

Thanks! New pics for the tender too. Is it just me, or do those pictures look like they were taken in a studio and "Photoshopped" onto the water?

You got that one right Moe. Take a look at the shot w/ the bimini top up. The turbulence in the water behind the boat suggest the boat is moving/idling.

Where do you suppose they're hiding the lifejackets and the paddle.

Under the anchor' ;-)

It looks nice to me, what I like best about it is where they put the steering, in the middle. I get sprayed sometimes sitting off to the right side on my 1975 11-Sport. It will be intersting to hear how it performs. I will never owe one, but I think its better then the classis hull.

I'd like to see the gas tank and battery moved up under the forward seat, to help give a little better weight balance, especially with the weight of a 25 4-stroke.
One could remove the rear thwart seat and replace it with the cooler set up out of a 170. Wouldn't be a bad little one man fishing boat.

Would be nice if it had a seat back, even a folding one. On my old 13 it used to kill my back without sufficient support. Aside from that, it should be a lot of fun.

That's a good point, Allen. It makes a huge difference on this old back on the 150, and does for Jarhead on his new 130. Whaler could easily put a similar backrest in the center of the rear thwart seat, allowing step-through on either side.
If one were going the cooler route, I suppose they could reinforce the top and bottom of a cooler lid with starboard, and use one of those swiveling fishing seats.

I've got a 13' and previously thought center steering wasn't all that hot... now, I'm trying to figure out how to balance the 13, which always leans to the right with the bat, and my weight on one side...
Now I'm thinking center steering on small boats is a much better idea... one of my winter projects might be to move the battery to the left side of the boat for better weight distribution...

Any prices yet? Can you get it as a tender w/o engine or steering?

From the flyer:
"Introducing a small vessel with a big impact on your
boating opportunities. The amazingly versatile Boston
Whaler 110 Tender / Sport is available in a variety of useful configurations: tiller-steered with a 9.9-horsepower outboard; a console model with a 15-horsepower four-stroke; or un-powered with oar locks. (Yes. A Boston Whaler rowboat.)"

A Boston Whaler row boat.
Hummmmmm
Is it a performance row boat? What are the biggest oars offered? Has anyone done the math on what oars might perform best?
Just in a end of the day feisty mood.
I am sure this new boat will find many happy uses and owners.
AllanR posted 11-13-2003 10:29 PM ET (US)
I prefer pedals myself. Leaves the hands free for signaling.
Barney posted 11-15-2003 09:30 AM ET (US)
I bet my old 11 footer standard would beat it on the hole shot using the oar option. Yes, they have had that oar option before.
I would have to experiment on which holes to mount the oar locks in though. Then of course finding the right rower would be a challenge too. Jim

Has anyone seen one in person yet?
Who plans on buying one?
skred posted 11-17-2003 08:18 AM ET (US)
I understood from the factory website info that the 110 sport had a seatback/seatbacks on the console seat.... No?

Oops... must've been the 130 I was looking at.... Sorry.
