What is a Boston Whaler?

A Boston Whaler boat is the best recreational boat ever produced! In production for over 50 years, the unique Boston Whaler boat has attracted an intensely loyal group of owners and fans. The "classic" Boston Whaler boat is any of the many boats descended from the original Boston Whaler style hulls offered from 1958 to present. Read the story of how the original Whaler hull was conceived and developed. The "post classic" Boston Whaler boat retains the high quality and most of the unique construction technique of the originals, but uses a number of new and different hull forms.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the award event! Not only did we receive a great gift of canvas, but also this very nice certificate, listing all the contributors and showing the results!
