A Surf Whaler is NOT a Boston Whaler. They were knock -off clones of the classic Boston Whaler made 17' hull. These knock-off hulls were made in the 80's in the British Columbia region of Canada. If you want a Whaler buy the real thing. Buy a Boston Whaler as a clone never has any value to a Classic Whaler person. |
