Boston Whaler Super Sport Boats For Sale

Boston Whaler Super Sport boats span a compact, unsinkable family that runs from the 13-foot 130 Super Sport up through the 16-foot 16 Super Sport, with the 15-foot 150 Super Sport produced through 2018 before the 160 took its place in 2019. Each one keeps the foam-cored, unsinkable construction Whaler is known for and arrives as a boat, motor and trailer package. These are simple, easy-to-operate boats suited to families, first-time owners, and anyone wanting a tender or a quick runabout for inner harbors and skinny water. Buyers shopping Boston Whaler Super Sport boats for sale are choosing entry-level Whalers built to outlast the people who own them.

The Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport is the smallest model and the most detailed in the current line. Redesigned from the hull up, it measures 14 feet long including the swim platforms, carries a 5-foot 10-inch beam, and draws just 9 inches with the engine tilted up, which lets it work into shallow spots that turn back larger boats. Empty weight is listed around 695 pounds, and it ships on a standard galvanized trailer. The standard engine is a 40-horsepower Mercury four-stroke, with a 25-horsepower Mercury available; fuel comes from a 6.5-gallon portable tank strapped beneath the bench seat to starboard.

Performance with the 40-horsepower four-stroke is brisk for a boat this size. Top speed lands around 31 to 33 mph, recorded at roughly 6,130 rpm on an aluminum 10.1-by-14 four-blade Spitfire propeller. Best cruise sits at 4,000 rpm, where the boat runs 16.5 mph while burning 1.8 gallons per hour, returning 9.2 miles per gallon and a range near 54 statute miles with a 10 percent fuel reserve. Time to plane is about five seconds, and the hull stays flat and tracks straight through turns.

The helm centers on a four-foot bench seat with a supportive backrest, a five-spoke stainless steel steering wheel, and a tachometer, nav-light switch and charging port to the right of the wheel. A smoked acrylic windscreen, a sport steering wheel with the Boston Whaler logo, and a locking gasketed glovebox for dry storage are available. The shifter and throttle mount on the starboard gunnel with the ignition behind them, the stowable nav light clips into a console receptacle, and the 40-horse Mercury supports the VesselView Mobile app for engine data and service tracking, a feature the 25-horse engine does not offer.

The deck layout favors usable space and grab points. The fiberglass bench seat is standard, with reversible bucket seats and a center passageway optional; a port-side grab rail runs nearly the full length, and an optional high rail wraps the bow. The raised non-skid foredeck holds a large anchor locker that drains, finished under the hatch with a rode channel and a center-mounted 8-inch cleat, plus a running light that doubles as a chock. Eight-inch cleats sit inboard at the stern, raised swim platforms flank the motor, and the port boarding ladder reaches 22 inches below the water for NMMA certification. Options include a stainless-frame bimini with a rod slide and a 50-quart cooler in a bungee bracket. Hull colors run from standard white to desert tan, green, light blue and Platinum gray, with black or white rub rails carrying a stainless steel insert.
