1968 Boston Whaler Menemsha
Description
Selling my rare 1968 Boston Whaler Menemsha. This is a factory pocket cruiser with a monocoque cuddy cabin. The boat comes with a 1994 Calkins galvanized trailer. The 2020 Tohatsu MFS60 engine in the pictures is not included but can be purchased separately.
The boat is in good working order and has been used daily this summer on a freshwater lake and on an excursion in the Thousand Islands. Max speed with the Tohatsu 60 and stock prop is 31 mph with 220 pounds of driver and dog and a full 12 gallon tank. Cruise on plane as low as 18-19mph.This is a good old classic Whaler hull. It has plenty of crazing in the gelcoat and could use some good cleaning. One of the gullwing doors was replaced by a previous owner and does not have the portlight or the original hinge and bracket. The previous owner removed the fiberglass helm seating that had the built-in storage in favor of a single seat, but I have the original piece and the legs for it. There is also a Garelick folding bench installed. Includes boat, trailer, and mooring cover. No electronics included. The steering cable and helm are included.
The brochure pictured is just for information, I sourced it from the internet when buying this boat. Known missing items include the side skirts, the rear engine-area railings, the stern seat, and the marine head that was removed to comply with modern regulations. The original berth that sat over the head is included.
If the buyer of this boat and trailer buys the Tohatsu 60 listed separately, the engine and controls will come installed and ready to go. Otherwise I will require 24 hours after deposit to remove the engine and controls.
The trailer has rust on the fenders but is sound, lights work, and it has made two 3-500 mile round trips this summer. Bearings recently packed.
Boat and trailer registered in my name in CT, ready for transfer. Sold as is where is, all faults known and unknown. Happy to arrange an inspection before you buy.
This boat can be put in the water today and enjoyed as it is, or brought inside for a nice quick renovation to really shine next season.
