History
In 1958, company founder Richard T. Fisher introduced the first Boston Whaler boat in Braintree, Massachussetts. 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 ulti-
mately 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 40 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.
PLEASE KEEP THIS BOOK AND OTHER MATERIALS IN A SECURE PLACE, AND BE SURE TO HAND IT
OVER TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU SELL THE BOAT.
This Owner’s Manual has been written to provide specific information about your boat and it should be read carefully.
Keep this booklet in the Owner’s Manual Packet. The Owner’s Manual Packet has been compiled to help you operate
your boat with safety and pleasure. It contains details of the boat, the equipment supplied or fitted, it’s systems and
information on it’s operation and maintenance. Please familiarize yourself with the boat and it’s operation before
using it. If this is your first boat, or you are changing to a type of boat you are not familiar with, for your own comfort
and safety, please ensure that you obtain handling and operating experience before “assuming command” of your
boat.Your Boston Whaler® dealer or localYacht Club will be pleased to advise you of marine safety classes and safe
boating classes in your area.

Boston Whaler®Limited Warranty
Boston Whaler warrants to the first retail owner of its 2007 model year boats, if purchased from an
authorized Boston Whaler Dealer and operated under normal, non-commercial use (“Boston Whaler Boat”),
that it will repair or replace, at its sole discretion, any defects in material or workmanship in the Boston Whaler
Boat that are reported within applicable warranty periods, subject to the remedies, exclusions, and limitations
set out below.
1. Limited Structural Hull Warranty - 0-5Years: Boston Whaler will provide 100% reimbursement for any repair or
replacement as a result of Structural Hull Defect in material or workmanship which is reported within five (5) years (60
months) from the date of the first retail purchase of the Boston Whaler Boat. The “Hull” shall mean the single fiberglass
molded shell and integral structural components. A Structural Hull Defect shall mean a substantial defect in the boat’s
Hull/Deck which causes the boat to be unfit or unsafe for general use as a pleasure craft under normal operating
conditions.
2.LimitedStructuralHullWarranty- 5-10Years:Forany defect reported during the 60-120 month period from the date
of the first retail purchase of the Boston Whaler Boat, Boston Whaler will reimburse repairs or replacement as a result of
a Structural Hull Defect in material or workmanship on a pro-rata basis. Reimbursement will be based on the percentage
of the number of months left of limited warranty coverage after the first 60 months have elapsed. A declining value of
1.67% will be assessed to each month after the first 60 month period. For example, a defect is reported 6 years and 3
monthsor75 months after the date of purchase. 75 months minus thefirst60monthsequals15 months of pro ratacoverage.
The 15 months of pro rata coverage is multiplied by 1.67% and equals 25%. This means 25% of the warranty has expired.
Therefore, any authorized repair and/or replacement will qualify for 75% reimbursement of the total cost.
