Anyway, here's the boat, 15' SuperSport with a 60hp Evinrude and a good base for a project Whaler.
The boat spent it's life on NH lakes and the first owner was a builder working on a large lake and this was his primary mode of transportation to all the islands and lakeside properties he built. The second owner wanted to upgrade since he had 3 kids and was originally from my area.
Motor options:
Current motor 250#
Yamaha 70 4 stroke 250# and almost $8K
Etec 75 is 320# and used about $4500
Suzuki 70 is 350# and really starts tugging the transom lower
Mercury 70 weighs in at 400# which is ridiculous
Yamaha 70 2 stroke is 225# and has integral oil tank
So the idea is to customize a bit and freshen it up. Boat is solid and I already have the master plan drawn up:
- New mahogany interior, modified on the SuperSport design
- Motor gets new paint and decals so it looks brand new
- Motor swap for a 2 stroke Yamaha 70hp
- Trailer new rollers, swap guide ons from my other trailer, LED lights, tongue jack and misc.
- Wiring is scrapped and new Blue Seas terminal block, batt switch, and switch panel
- New 15 gal tank, low profile under the seat - already ordered
- Lights converted to LED
- New rubrail
- Interior LED lights
- Stereo, GPS plotter and tach
- Mahogany interior will sport a blend of mahogany and holley on certain pieces to stand out
- Boat gets a full compound and wax
- Awlgrip the interior with a 2 tone color like the 13' I did 10 years ago.

The only marks to the bottom are from a failed trailer roller and there is minor scratches in the gelcoat.
