1992 Boston Whaler 27 Offshore

[Fishin' Mission]

Anybody know anything about these boats? This one has twin 200 Yamaha w/ 175 hours. Do they ride wet and rough? I heard that Boston whalers ride wet. Any owners out there with first hand experience?

It's gonna be fast. I knew a guy who had that 27 footer with a 300 hp Evinrude and it was a rocket. I don't think it was overpowered, but it looked like it was with that big V-8 hanging off the back. He never really took it offshore though, had it mostly in the back bay, South shore Long Island. I'd see him in the inlet occasionally on calmer days. He pretty much went from one gas station to the next.

I like my two Whalers. Dry rides BTW.

Great boats, one of the best.<br /><br />They ride dry enough. Some of the smaller ones can be a little jarring to the innards.

Fishin Mission,<br /><br />This is just an observation. I looked at one of them back in '91, when we bought our current boat. I liked the boat and was interested but simply could not afford it back then. However, and this is something for you to either consider or to ignore, Since that time I have never seen one of these boats off shore. Off shore fishing is about all I do. In the last 13 years I've seen just about every make and model of boat that ever fished out there, but I don't remember seeing one of those Whalers. I have been fishing almost exclusively from the Outer Banks of North Carolina during that time. Ocassionally I see these boats near shore and I see them inshore, I notice them because I had an interest in them back when I was looking around. Anyway it may or may not mean anything. It could be a regional thing, it could be that I just wasn't paying much attention.<br /><br />Thom

i'll somewhat agree with thom. while i don't fish offshore, my father-in-law does regularly off the coasts of florida and the bahamas. while he regularly sees intrepids, contenders, regulators, jupiters, and grady's, he doesn't see many whalers offshore. not too say it means they are a bad boat for that purpose. just another observation.
