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:

Boston Whalers were usually hard to find up here in those days. Any for sale
were just too expensive compared to other boats.
Now with free trade and our dollar almost at par...who knows.
