SOLD: 1973 Tashmoo 17'
Posted: Thu May 14, 2020 2:51 pm
For-sale: a 1973 Boston Whaler Tashmoo with 1974 Evinrude 85-HP outboard engine that still runs well and has never left me stranded. The engine usually requires starting fluid for cold starts. There is no [power] tilt-trim, and trailer with hinged tongue recently installed. The boat is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the asking price is $6,000.
The venerable Tashmoo is one of the less common classic Whalers so take a look in the reference section of this forum to get better idea of what this model has to offer. I purchased it about five years ago from a gentleman in the Detroit area. Before that I understand it resided in Ohio.
In the time I have owned this boat, I've performed several upgrades:
I am selling because we only use the boat three-times per year, and I would rather spend my time on projects that get more use. And my wife wants the garage back.
