HISTORY
In 1958, company founder Richard T. Fisher
introduced the rst Boston Whaler®boat in Braintree,
Massachusetts. It featured two signicant innovations:
rst, 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
TO HAND IT OVER TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU SELL THE BOAT.
