Boston Whaler founder Richard T. Fisher demon- strating one of the features that has made Bos- ton Whaler the “Unsink- able Legend” in this 1961 LIFE Magazine Photo. Richard T. Fisher was posthumously inducted into the National Marine Manufacturer’s Associa- tion (NMMA) Hall of Fame on September 26, 1996 for accomplishments made in marine engineer- ing and construction. 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 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 se- verely 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.

Construction Standards 2 Hull Identifcation Number The Hull Identification Number is located on the starboard side of the transom wall. This is the most important identifying factor and must be included in all correspondence related to your 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 the finished product is pulled from the mold, the deck and the hull are chemically bonded to form a solid, inseparable unit. 2 3 4 Hull Identification Number Location When your 240 Outrage needs to be serviced or regu- lar maintenance is needed, it should be taken to an authorized Boston Whaler® dealer.
