I am interesting is seeing what [the 150 SPORT Tow Arch Sun Top] option looks like. Does anyone have a new [150 SPORT with the Tow Arch Sun Top] option? Or know where a picture [of a 150 SPORT with the Tow Arch Sun Top option] is available?
Thanks!
Steve

Nevermind. After spending some more time navigating the options page on the Whaler website, I found what I was looking for. It's a $995 option.

I would think you could just add a regular bimini to to the arch tubing. The tow arch sun top probably just stows a little neater on the arch.

Thanks Fishguts. That's an even better picture than what I found. I think these are pretty neat little boats, though I would ditch the cheap graphics and probably overpower with a three-cylinder OptiMax.

I like [the Boston Whaler 150 SPORT], too. I would like to wakeboard behind [a Boston Whaler 150 SPORT]. I wonder if MarineMax would let us do that.

"I wonder if MarineMax would let us do that."
I assume you mean, swap the F60 for the OptiMax? I doubt it very much. But the way I see it, the F60 with the bigfoot case is such a popular engine that it should be relatively easy to peddle when brand new...and then I'd install the 3 cylinder Opti myself...liability be damned. I've always overpowered my boats. I don't have kids, nor do I let anyone else behind the wheel. I suppose I may have trouble selling my 18 Ventura with the 3.0 litre 200 DFI strapped on the back :)
(but I can always take it off, huh?)

No, I want to go wakeboarding for a demo ride. See how that 60 Horsepower BigFoot pulls my 52 year old Big Butt out of the water. It would be a good test. Me, my son, wife, and the salesman.
A 75 Opti on a 15. That's 115 extra pounds on the transom. I wonder if it would be faster than my Dauntless 14 with the Mercury 75 2 stroke.
