“The Unsinkable Legend”, Boston Whaler, shows the new 170 – the fastest, most spacious and versatile Super Sport yet w/ a Mercury four stroke outboard.

“The 170 is a natural extension of the Super Sport line,” said Ron Berman, Boston Whaler’s vice president of product development and engineering. “It’s a multipurpose boat.

The 170 is engineered with Boston Whaler’s patented Unibond® system, which delivers the brand’s legendary unsinkability. Award-winning Whaler construction and the 170 Super Sport’s incredible versatility set it apart from other boats in its class – it can be used as a tender, a watersports machine or as a fishing platform. Plus, its sleek design makes it quite the head turner.

The 170′s added space and impressive performance allow for an even greater range of possibilities.

The optional 90-hp FourStroke Mercury engine (a 60-hp FourStroke comes standard) makes the boat an exceptional watersports platform. The 170 is ideal for an array of activities – including water-skiing and wakeboarding – and customers can even opt for a factory-installed wakeboard tower for the utmost watersports experience.

Beyond its broad functionality, the 170 Super Sport is simply an all-around performer. Against three of its top competitors in the market, the 170 had superior fuel economy at optimal cruising speed.

Get a color wrap for this one and it’s a head-turning, WOW boat on the water.

Boston Whaler now uses a new hull with 50% more weight , a smoother riding bottom shape, and higher hull sides to reinvent their most popular boat model. The first hull design and weight lasted more than 50 plus years. Now the hard ride is softened and the general family fun factor has increased for all the family boating activities. Look at the new bottom shape at the transom and the bucket seat option over the standard boat bench seat in the deeper cockpit. See five photos here.
