1991 Boston Whaler Sport

This vintage 13-foot Whaler Sport has that simple, honest layout that makes small-boat days easy. Low gunwales keep you close to the water for casting and tending lines, while the classic side-console setup leaves plenty of room to move fore and aft. The lightweight hull makes it a breeze to trailer, launch solo, and tuck into smaller garages or slips. It planes quickly with modest horsepower, so you’re not feeding a thirsty engine every outing. Families appreciate how easy it is to hop in and out for swimming, beaching, and sandbar runs, and the flat interior sole makes coolers, tackle boxes, and folding chairs simple to rearrange as your plans change through the day.

In this region’s mix of sheltered bays, winding creeks, and nearshore stretches, a 13-foot Whaler Sport shines as a go-anywhere, do-most-things platform. Its compact size slips into crowded ramps and shallow backwaters where larger boats can’t comfortably go. Afternoon chop and boat wakes are handled confidently by the classic hull, yet the boat is still light enough for easy trailering to different launch spots. Whether you’re poking around grass flats, running crab traps along the shoreline, or shuttling the crew to a nearby sandbar, this model offers a practical blend of maneuverability, efficiency, and ruggedness that suits the local waters.
