NYSE just tweeted this picture of a new Whaler in front of the exchange today...

It is apparently related to some presentation that Brunswick is making to investors that occurs today. Perhaps the answer can be found in

On page 61 of the presentation (linked above) the priorities for Boston Whaler are listed as follows:

--lead U.S. premium fiberglass outboard saltwater market – benefit from the introduction of five all new models in model year 2013 and four in model year 2014

--continue to extend product line above 30 feet – beyond 345 Conquest and 370 Outrage, including center console and cabin models

--extend product line-up in dual console segment following highly successful Vantage series launch

It is also interesting to note the surprising minority share of sales that fiberglass outboard boats contribute to Brunswick's boat group--only 21-percent. Aluminum boats are 44-percent of sales. It surprises me that tin-boats, a relatively new area for Brunswick, have become so dominant. They more than double the fiberglass boat sales. See pages 52 and 53 for the references.

I love the 230 Vantage. In a different era I would be an owner.

Thanks for pointing out their aluminum portfolio. I had no idea Brunswick owned Crestliner and Lowes.

If you want to see what boat brands Brunswick owns, look for the Mercury package-motor on the back. There's a reason they are there.
