SPORT 15 Transom Height

Postby rvschulz » Tue Jun 10, 2025 1:18 pm

Q1: what is the transom height for [an unspecified model year] SPORT 15?

ASIDE: I may buy [an unspecified model year] SPORT 15 at a great price. This boat has a Yamaha 50-HP 20-inch-shaft two-stroke-power-cycle engine. I think a 15-inch- shaft engine would be proper.

The transom height of a classic era SPORT 15 is 20-inches.

Read more about the 15-foot hull in the REFERENCE section articles beginning at

The only Boston Whaler boats with a notched transom for a 15-inch shaft engine were the early 13-foot hulls made prior to c.1972.
