A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most beautifully restored Boston Whaler 15' Super Sport Center Consoles in existence.
Owned by one family since new and stored under cover its entire life, this classic Whaler has undergone a no-expense-spared, professional restoration -- thoughtfully upgraded with modern systems while maintaining complete period authenticity.
The restoration was undertaken as a gift to the owner's father, executed with extraordinary attention to detail, craftsmanship, and reverence for originality. The result is a museum-quality Whaler with subtle 2025 refinements that make it more capable, reliable, and user-friendly than ever.
