Re: Decal Size

Thanks Phil, the link does not take me to the site you posted. I know the location, I’m looking for the correct size of the decal for a 11’ Whaler. I am not doing a showboat so it’s OK to not buy a factory decal. Many sellers are now selling left and right decals to look correct. Anyone else know th...

Decal Size

Just finished painting the hull on my little 11’ Whaler. I forgot to measure the Boston Whaler side decals prior to their removal. Would like the correct decal size for this 11’ Whaler. Also, price for factory is high for what they are, any feedback on aftermarket brands which are less cost. The boa...

Re: Engine for 1986 11-footer

I have found some good buys on long shaft engines, besides the obvious that the motor is setting lower in the water. What would the other negatives be if I were to put a 15 hp 20" shaft engine on a 11' whaler that specs say a put a 15" short shaft on this hull. The reason I am asking is I ...

Re: Engine for 1986 11-footer

Thanks Jim. I see the sport model goes up to 20-HP. Is this due to weight distribution since you are operating a bit forward? Or is the boat more squirrely with the operator in back with a tiller?

Hey everyone, first time Boston Whaler boat owner here and new to this forum. I just purchased a 1986 [11-footer that] was owned by the Canadian Coast Guard and was well used.
