Disney World Patrol Boats

The boats have center consoles with T-tops and black rubber bumpers along the sides. I believe they had 135 Mercs on the back. Does anybody have info on what size and model Whaler this is? Also, what happens to the old models? Where would they be sold or auctioned off?

I am going to keep my eyes on some govt auction sites. Being located in FL, there should plenty to choose from. I think that Disney would take better care of their boats than the law enforcement guys. Now I need to find out what Disney does with those older models when they are done with them. 1982 15 Whaler

Consider bringing it to an AOMCI (Antique Outboard Motor Clu meet in Central Florida. We have one member with a cracker box, and other who is restoring a Jersey Speed Skiff. Its not just about old outboards. OK this post isn`t Whaler related, but you are a Whaler owner. LOL Rich

Not too fast, as they have five horse motors....Several new models also on display there. Disney and Boston Whaler....the originals Edited by tkhvdh on 06/18/10 - 4:46 PM But it IS a WHALER. The One and Original "T" Party.
