210 Montauk

HISTORY

In 1958, company founder Richard T. Fisher

introduced the first Boston Whaler

boat in Braintree,

Massachusetts. It featured two significant innovations:

first, its twin sponson hull design produced superior

stability and a remarkably dry ride; second, its unique

foam core construction made the boat not only

durable, but unsinkable as well.

Fisher took every opportunity to illustrate the unique

characteristics of the Boston Whaler

. His most

famous demonstration was captured in 1961, by

Life Magazine.

The series of photographs showed

the boat underway, the boat being sawed in half and

ultimately Fisher motoring away in the remaining

half of the boat. And through the years many other

demonstrations have proved the toughness and

durability of the Boston Whaler hull. And though

you may never cut your boat in half, this only goes

to show one thing, people whose livelihood and lives

depend on boats consistently choose Boston Whaler

because of their seaworthiness, dependability and

the inherent safety of a hull that won’t sink even if

severely damaged.

Boston Whalers are built to last. For over 50 years

Boston Whaler

has strived to make each model

better, providing you with a safe and fun boating

experience. That is the reason we offer a 10 year

limited transferable warranty. It is also an excellent

reason why you can trust the safety of your family

and friends to a Boston Whaler

On September 26, 1996, Richard T. Fisher was

posthumously inducted into the NMMA (National

Marine Manufacturer’s Association) Hall of Fame for

accomplishments made in marine engineering and

construction.

1958, The legend is born

as company founder Dick Fisher

demonstrates a Boston Whaler’s

total unsinkability.

PLEASE KEEP THIS OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET IN A SECURE PLACE, AND BE SURE
