We’re reluctantly selling our Boston Whaler Ventura 18 after finally securing a slip for a larger boat. This has been an incredible do-it-all boat that has given us countless great days on the water with zero issues.
We personally put approximately 100 hours on the boat over the past year alone. In July, we took it to Lake Mojave, made two trips to Catalina, and spent time in Newport Beach. It’s the perfect trailerable boat for exploring Southern California’s coast, lakes, and rivers.
The boat has been exceptionally well cared for, kept covered on its trailer when not in use, and thoroughly cleaned after every trip. It’s in great condition for its age, and the Yamaha runs beautifully.
