Boston Whaler 110 Tender Boats
No Console, No Problem
Fishing and recreation in the inner parts of Florida tend to have restrictions that motorized vessels cannot reconcile. In many cases there is a restriction against motorized or slow speed zones. Other zones restrict the type of motor the vessel can have. Additionally, as many of the rivers in Florida are shallow, boats which rest deeper in the water are not an option. For this reason, a tender may be the best option. The Boston Whaler 110 Tender is one of the most popular selections of tender boats for sale. Here are a few facts about the boat.
Low Power for easy navigation
Boston Whaler 100 Tender boats for sale come equipped with a 15 ML FourStroke Mercury Engine. Unlike all the other boats within the Boston Whaler family, the Mercury Motor on the Tender is operated from the stern of the boat. The motor can be raised or removed for navigation into non-motor territories. Compared to other Mercury engines, it is rather light weighting around 112 pounds. Max RPMs on the Boston Whaler 110 Tender engine is between 4500 and 5500 allowing for a maximum speed of 20.3 mph. In most instances the boat would be cruising at half of this and the speed would be 4.8 mph, perfect for the slow zones.
Because the 110 is a small vessel and because its primary purpose is to allow access for the fisherman and adventurer to access the restricted waters of Florida, there is an option for side rails with oar lock sockets. This turns the boat into a paddle vessel. Oars are not offered with the boat, so it is essential that if you opt for the oar lock sockets that you check the diameter of the oars to ensure they will fit and function properly. If the pre-owned boat is equipped with oar sockets, ask the owner if they will include the oars with the boat.
Seating
As the boat does not have a console, there is more room for seating. The Boston Whaler 110 Tender comes equipped with two bar seats. These seats do have a slight bow/contour so aesthetically it does not appear as if you are sitting on two planks. Buyers should take into consideration that the seats are placed in the mid to stern section of the boat and so weight distribution may be an issue. It is advised that if you are to at the full 4-person capacity that there will be some lag in the speed as well as a need to counterbalance the weight to the bow of the boat.
Cushion seating is available for the forward and aft bench seats.
Storage
The only real storage on the Boston Whaler 110 Tender is on the bow. A single large storage container is located here. As such, fishermen would probably need to use this container for their catches leaving the rest of the boat’s space to be divided for the crew and the fishing supplies.
Who else should purchase this boat
Apart from navigation into shallow and no-motor zones, purchasing a tender boat for sale would be a great starter boat for younger boat men. Learning to manage the Boston Whaler 110 Tender engine is an excellent way in which to teach younger navigators how to handle the power of a Mercury engine without ‘jumping into the deep end of the pool’ – as they say.
