HISTORY
In 1958, company founder Richard T. Fisher introduced the
rst Boston Whaler®boat in Braintree, Massachussetts. 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, dependablility
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 oer 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.

that the product is defective. Products that are replaced become the property of Boston Whaler.
OTHER LIMITATIONS
EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HEREIN, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, PROVIDED BY BOSTON
WHALER ON THIS BOAT. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS
AND MERCHANTABILITY, ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. BOSTON WHALER FURTHER DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR
ECONOMIC LOSS ARISING FROM CLAIMS OF PRODUCT FAILURE, NEGLIGENCE, DEFECTIVE DESIGN, MANUFACTURING

STATED HEREIN. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, NEITHER BOSTON WHALER, NOR THE SELLING DEALER, SHALL HAVE
ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF THE BOAT, LOSS OF TIME, INCONVENIENCE, COMMERCIAL LOSS OR CONSEQUENTIAL

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
Any action for rescission or revocation against Boston Whaler shall be barred unless it is commenced within one (1) year from the date of
accrual of such cause of action. This provision does not grant any consumer a right of rescission or revocation against Boston Whaler, where
such right does not otherwise exist under applicable law. Some states may not allow the applicable statute of limitations for rescission or
revocation to be reduced, so this provision may not apply to each retail owner.

OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
To initiate a warranty claim, it is the responsibility of the owner to contact an authorized Boston Whaler dealer immediately after discovery of
any defect, describe the nature of the problem, and provide a hull serial number, date of purchase, and name of selling dealer. The authorized
dealer will notify Boston Whaler, who is solely responsible for determining and authorizing in writing the remedial action(s) to be performed
at either an authorized Boston Whaler dealership chosen by Boston Whaler or at the Boston Whaler factory. The owner should notify Boston
Whaler of any boat being repaired by an authorized Boston Whaler dealer which has been at the dealership for fteen (15) days, or of any claimed
defect which was not corrected after one repair attempt. The owner must provide Boston Whaler with a reasonable opportunity to repair, and
reasonable access to the Boston Whaler Boat for warranty service and the owner shall pay for all related transportation charges and/or travel
time. If the owner cannot deliver the product to such a dealer, written notice must be given to Boston Whaler. Boston Whaler will then arrange
for the inspection and any covered repair and the owner shall pay for all related transportation charges and/or travel time. Our privacy policies
are available at www.bostonwhaler.com.
ASSIGNMENT OF COMPONENT WARRANTIES
Except as expressly set out herein, all warranties provided by the manufacturers and distributors of components, equipment, and parts on the
boat (collectively “Component Manufacturers”) are hereby assigned to the owner to the extent permitted by the Component Manufacturers, as
the owner’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such items.
REGISTRATION & WARRANTY TRANSFER POLICY
The limited warranty coverage is activated by the authorized selling dealer registering the sale of a new Boat with Boston Whaler.
The Ten-Year, Three-Year, and One-Year limited warranties are transferable to a subsequent owner, except the one-year Accessory warranty
which is not transferrable and this Limited Manufacturer Warranty will not transfer to any new owner of a boat which has been salvaged and
resold, or resold after a declaration of a total loss or a constructive total loss, i.e., the cost of repair exceeds the value of the boat. The new owner
must ll out and submit the online Boston Whaler warranty transfer form, accessible from www.bostonwhaler.com. A copy of the bill of sale
will be required to submit with the form. The warranty transfer must be completed within 30 days of purchase.
MODIFICATIONS & SEVERABILITY
The terms and conditions contained herein, as well as those of any documents prepared in conjunction with the sale of this vessel may not be
modied, altered or waived by any action, inaction, or representations, whether oral or in writing, except upon the expressed, written authority
of a management level employee of Boston Whaler. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more of the provisions herein shall not
aect the validity and enforceability of the other provisions.
