HISTORY

In 1958, company founder Richard T. Fisher introduced the

ﬁ rst Boston Whaler

®

boat in Braintree, Massachussetts. It

featured two signiﬁ cant innovations: ﬁ 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 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.

INTRODUCTION

The material here and in the rest of the Owner’s

Manual Packet:

• Gives you basic safety information;

• Describes the features of your boat;

• Describes the equipment on your boat;

• Describes the fundamentals of boat use; and

• Contains service and maintenance

information.

You must learn to operate this boat as well as read,

understand and use this manual.

What this manual does not give you is a course in

boating safety, or how to navigate, anchor or dock

your boat. Operating a power boat safely requires

more skills, knowledge and awareness than is

necessary for a car or truck.

Your responsibilities

For your safety, the safety of your passengers, other

boaters and people in the water, you must:

• Take a boating safety course;

• Get instruction in the safe and proper handling

of your boat;

• Understand and follow the “rules of the road”;

• Learn how to navigate.

boating courses:

• U.S. Power Squadron

• Canadian Power and Sail Squadrons

• Red Cross

• State Boating Ofﬁ ces

• Yacht Club

Contact the Boat/U.S. Foundation at 1-800-336-2628

Warranties

In addition to the Boston Whaler

®

Limited Warranty

for your boat, each component and/or system on your

boat has its own warranty that will be found with the

speciﬁ c information and manual for that component.

Packet. Locate and read the individual warranties,
