Boston Whaler 13 ft - Evinrude 35 hp outboard - 2 stroke engine- Holloway Reservoir - Michigan

A ride along in the Whaler! I'm at Holloway reservoir in mid-Michigan, June 2022. The boat is a 1969 and is powered by a 1984 Evinrude 35 hp 2-stroke outboard.

Nice, I have a 1974 13 with an 05 Merc 25hp. They’re fun little boats!

Where did u get the Bimini top from ? I am looking for one for my 13 BW

[@mattsboatyard6891]

It was a gift, and I’m pretty sure it was purchased from a dealer off of eBay. It is a nice bimini and was fairly easy to put together.

Beautiful! Top speed with 35 hp? Thanks

[@mattsboatyard6891]

With a passenger and gear top speed is 28 mph. If I’m out on it solo and with a light load, the best speed I’ve gotten out of it is 31-32 mph. Thats all with a 10x12p propeller.

The old whalers are cool little boats- great design
