History - Boston Whaler 130 Super Sport User Manual

In 1958, company founder Richard T. Fisher
introduced the first Boston Whaler
Braintree, Massachussetts. It featured two signifi cant
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
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.
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.
