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 BostonWhaler. 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 BostonWhaler 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.

“THE MISSION OF BOSTON WHALER IS TO PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH THE

SAFEST, HIGHEST QUALITY, MOST DURABLE BOATS IN THE WORLD”.

We are dedicated to creating a superior product providing you with comfort, performance, safety and dependability.

All of our boats comply with the safety standards set by the United States Coast Guard and are designed, engineered

Construction Standards

Hull Identifcation Number

The “Hull Identification Number” is located on the

starboard side of the transom wall.

Thisis themost importantidentifying factor andmust

beincluded in allcorrespondence related toyour ves-

sel. Failure to do so will only create delays.Also of

vital importance are the engine serial numbers and

part numbers when writing about or ordering parts

for your engine.

Our Hull

Boston Whaler® hulls are constructed with our pat-

ented Unibond™ construction. This involves shoot-

ing high density foam into a closed mold system.

The foam expands to fill voids in the hull, and when

thefinished product is pulledfrom the mold, thedeck

and the hull are chemically bonded to form a solid,

inseparable unit.

cockpit. the drain must be in place when underway.

NOTICE

Depending on the type of boat you have, you may

have underwater fittings that need drain plugs.

Garboard drain plugs and fishbox drain plugs need

to be in place before the boat goes into the water.

Any fitting that will be underwater needs to be

plugged or the seacock needs to be closed

NOTICE

Through hull fittings should be checked for proper

seal annually. When the boat is in the water the un-

derwater fittings can be checked for dripping. It is
