Description

This Boston Whaler 27 Walkaround stands out first and foremost for its engine package. The two Mercury FourStroke V6 225 hp outboards fitted to it are brand new, installed in June 2025, and they total only 41.9 and 42.6 hours as shown on the hour meters. For a buyer, this means a complete repower has already been done, without the cost and uncertainty that propulsion usually brings on a boat from this era.

Maintenance follows the same logic. The transom sleeves and the seacocks were completely replaced in March 2026, the underwater drive has just been reconditioned/refurbished, and servicing is up to date since April 2026, with invoices to support it. These are precisely the items people dread on a 1992 boat, and all of them have been taken care of.

The model is sought after. Built during the Reebok era, the period when Boston Whaler paid particular attention to its hardware and hull molds, this 27 Walkaround is fitted with the Whaler Drive version, which is relatively uncommon. Its foam-filled hull makes it unsinkable, the deck plan provides full peripheral walkaround circulation, and it is certified for twelve people.

The layout allows for real livable use, with four berths split across two separate sleeping areas, connected internally and served by two distinct entrances. The dinette accommodates eight people and converts into a berth, with a second bed permanently set up. The galley has a refrigerator and a gas stove; the head is supplied with hot water and features a new electric marine WC with a blackwater tank.

The cockpit has been designed for sport fishing. The deep fish boxes incorporate an aerated and lit livewell as well as an ice crusher, and they also serve as storage. A prep station with sink and hot water, a seawater pump for rinsing the deck, and LED spotlights on the T-Top complete the setup. The exterior aft area can be configured as a sunpad, and the rear lounge with its table is new.

The equipment includes a fishfinder, a VHF, a Bluetooth Fusion radio unit, a Victron battery controller that can be operated via an app, a Victron shore charger, and 220-volt outlets onboard. Lighting is fully LED, and a 100-watt solar panel is installed on the cockpit roof. The period wooden doors and side lockers have been retained. A sun cover, a cockpit cover, and a winterizing cover round out the protection.

The boat is visible in Marseille, at Pointe Rouge. It is sold without a berth; a berth can be arranged for an additional fee with the Yacht Club de la Pointe Rouge. A tender with a Mercury 2.5 hp engine or an electric motor is offered as an option, price to be agreed. Additional photos and videos available on request.
