Own a True Classic - Most Originally Preserved 1968 13-foot Boston Whaler


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. The boat has never seen saltwater, 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, sanded 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. If you are looking for a mint original condition classic 13' Whaler, this is it and does not get any better. Asking $6900 OBRO. Call Tom with any questions. 609-903-7321 (cell)
