We have an 11' whaler aswell with an early 80's johnson 35. Have to gps it and see what it will do!

When buying an old Boston Whaler, the first question you ask is...How much does it weigh? The 11 foot tiller model only weighs 210 to 220 lbs. Water logged flotation is VERY common and most non original owners are not aware of the problem. Some say you can drill holes and use a wet vac to get the water out....I don't think so . You need to separate the hull, remove the water logged flotation and install new foam. Here is a good example of the problem. You can tell by the picture the boat is nose heavy....flotation is water logged! Owner is selling the boat CHEAP!...$200.00.
If you have the time and skill for the project....you can resell it at a very good profit!! Plus restored to their original weight they are a fast classic boat.

Yup, spoke to that guy before he dropped the price. Good thing someone else pointed out it was waterlogged. He offered it to me for the $200, I passed. Rather buy a V-Nose Jon boat and weld-er-up but that's another story.

There was another 11 foot whaler for $1500. The owner says it weighs 260 lbs. Same problem??

Took my 14' tinnie today by myself. I took the GPS with me and 69 KPH was the best speed of the day. I'm not sure how fast the motor is turning but my 19" pitch aluminum prop 4" below the hull slips like crazy, got to find a stainless in a 19 or 21, there's a lot more speed to be obtain. The boat bounces a bit till you hit it or stay on it, the bouncing can get on your nerves after a while but it's not that bad when we are two in the boat.
