Welcome to The GAM

Postby jimh » Tue Oct 13, 2015 3:01 pm

The GAM is a discussion forum for conversations between owners of Boston Whaler boats. The name, The GAM, comes from the traditional name for a meeting of whaling ships at sea. Whaling ships often spent years at sea, and when sighting another whaling ship, two whaling ships would come alongside to exchange information and have some conversation between the crews. A whaler's gam was a chance for some socialization and news from home.

In this tradition, The GAM discussion forum is for posting of articles of general interest to owners of Boston Whaler boats. Articles about newsworthy maritime events, not necessarily involving only Boston Whaler boats, are welcome. Discussion on decidedly non-maritime events, such as politics and elections in the USA, are not welcome.

The GAM often contains news of marine events of specific interest to Boston Whaler owners, such as notices from Boston Whaler, from Brunswick, or from outboard engine companies.

If you are seeking advice about how to make a repair or modification to a Boston Whaler boat, or how to enhance the performance of a Boston Whaler boat, or want to post a notice of for-sale or wanted-to-buy related to a Boston Whaler boat, there are other more specific forums for those topics.

Please note: the forums are not to be used for self-promotion by commercial vendors.
