Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport Boats For Sale

The Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport is a 13-foot single-outboard runabout built on the brand's unsinkable hull, redesigned from the hull up with reworked seating, more storage and a revised bottom shape. It measures 14 feet long with the swim platforms, carries a 5-foot-10-inch beam, and draws just 9 inches with the engine tilted up, which lets it work skinny water that larger boats can't reach. Dry weight including fuel runs around 1,000 pounds, and the boat ships on a standard galvanized trailer that fits a single-car garage at just over 17 feet with the trailer attached. It suits families, first-time buyers and owners who want a tender or a simple hose-and-go boat for inner harbors and small canals.

Performance comes from a standard Mercury 40-horsepower four-stroke, with a 25-horsepower outboard offered as the smaller alternative. Turning an aluminum 10.1-by-14 four-blade Spitfire propeller, the 40 reaches 6,130 rpm at wide open throttle and records a top speed near 31 mph in light chop, with loaded runs landing in the 30-to-35 mph range depending on weight. Best cruise falls at 4,000 rpm, where the boat holds 16.5 mph on a fuel burn of 1.8 gallons per hour, returning 9.2 miles per gallon and a range of about 54 statute miles while keeping 10 percent of the 6.5-gallon portable tank in reserve. The 40 has enough low-end torque to plane in roughly five seconds and runs through 20 mph in 10.1 seconds, and the hull stays flat and slides cleanly through turns.

The helm centers on a four-foot bench seat with a supportive backrest and a five-spoke stainless steel steering wheel. To the right of the wheel sit the tachometer, the navigation-light switch and a 12-volt charging port, with a locking glovebox forward and an optional smoked acrylic windscreen above the panel. The shifter-throttle lever mounts on the starboard gunnel with the ignition key behind it, and the white all-round light clips into a receptacle and stows below the binnacle. Ordering the 40-horsepower engine adds Mercury VesselView Mobile for engine data and service tracking, a feature the 25 does not carry.

Up forward, the raised non-skid foredeck holds a large anchor locker with a finished underside and a channel for the rode, plus a center-mounted 8-inch cleat positioned correctly for anchoring and a running light that doubles as a chock. A bow cushion measures 4 feet 4 inches by 2 feet 6 inches and ventilates to shed water, while the optional high bow rail wraps the bow and anchors into Whale board composite so the screws can't pull out. The cockpit runs 4 feet 7 inches by 2 feet 5 inches, with depth of 20 inches forward and 16 inches aft and 13 inches of freeboard at the stern. Mini integrated swim platforms flare away from the engine, the four-step boarding ladder mounts to port, and ABYC certification places the ladder 22 inches below the water.

The unsinkable hull uses unibody construction, with the top and bottom bonded and injected with closed-cell foam so the boat is 100 percent fiberglass and foam, and the fuel, batteries, cabling and steering all mount outside the laminate for simple maintenance with no internal fuel lines or throttle cables. The self-bailing cockpit drains above the waterline, so the plug can stay out when the boat sits unattended. The standard fiberglass bench can be swapped at the dealer for removable bucket seats with a center passageway that reverse into a spotter's position for towing, and a grab rail runs nearly the full length of the port side. Other options include a stainless-framed bimini with a canvas slide for rod storage, a 50-quart cooler with a snap-on cushion seat, a bow towing eye for tender duty, and hull colors beyond white in desert tan, sea green, light blue and a gray called Platinum, with the rub rail available in black or white with a stainless steel insert. Shoppers comparing Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport boats for sale should weigh seating choice and the windscreen for comfort, since the boat is weight-sensitive and moving people forward helps it plane with a full load.
