Nice find... do you know what the total towing weight would be for that
boat/motor/trailer combo?

I don't know for sure, but an educated guess is 1000 lbs or less,
including 6 gals of fuel. The newer models with the 40 hp four stroke
may be a bit higher in weight.

Here's a spec sheet I found on old and new Whalers. Mine must be the
1971 "Sport" model as it has the mahogany side console as well as the
mahogany seats and hatch cover.

Sorry .... forgot to paste the link to the spec sheet:

Eisboch


Looks like a pretty low transom on that boat. ;-)



It is a low transom, but then again, it is a small boat designed for
bays, protected water and small inland lakes. I don't think you would
find people recommending this for offshore fishing.

While is does have a 15" transom, it does not have a cut out for the
engine. So it is a true 15" transom in a boat that is unsinkable.
