2026 Boston Whaler 160 Super Sport (90 HP Mercury FourStroke)

Dealer Overview

"Welcome to the ultimate combination of legendary unsinkability, effortless utility, and pure, unadulterated fun: the 2026 Boston Whaler 160 Super Sport. Famously celebrated as the standard by which all compact utility boats are judged, the 160 Super Sport delivers Boston Whaler's premium heritage and structural confidence in an incredibly agile, low-maintenance package that is perfect for first-time boaters and seasoned captains alike.

While the standard configuration features a 75 HP motor, this premium unit has been aggressively upgraded to the maximum allowed power plant—the Mercury 90 HP ELPT EFI FourStroke engine. This max-horsepower upgrade transforms this sleek, shallow-draft skiff into a sporty, high-performance athlete. Boasting lightning-fast hole shots, a thrilling top speed of roughly 34 knots, and incredible mid-range acceleration, this 90 HP setup easily handles watersports, coastal exploration, or navigating choppy bays with up to six passengers on board. It’s the ultimate 'load-and-go' boat for families who want zero-stress trailering, garage-friendly storage, and premium saltwater reliability."

Key Features & Everyday Utility

Legendary Unsinkable Hull: Built using Boston Whaler’s proprietary foam-core construction, ensuring maximum flotation and a rock-solid, vibration-free ride that can easily handle rough coastal waters, riverways, or heavy duty yacht-tender applications.
Ergonomic Side Console Layout: Designed to optimize deck real estate, featuring a sleek fiberglass side helm with a stainless steel steering wheel, dual drink holders, intuitive toggle switches, and a lockable, water-resistant storage compartment to protect valuables.
Dual Aft Swim Platforms: Integrated molded swim steps at the transom combined with a telescoping stainless steel swim ladder extend the fun straight down to the water line for effortless re-entry after swimming or diving.
Easy Hose-and-Go Maintenance: Ditch the high-maintenance upholstery and complex accessories. The 160 Super Sport features a clean, durable fiberglass deck with a self-bailing cockpit drain plug—making end-of-the-day cleanup as simple as a quick spray-down with a garden hose.
