A definitive history of the popular Boston Whaler motorboat, back in print and updated to include the Whaler’s most transformative decade.Boston Whalers are the quintessential American motorboat―timeless on the water and forever in style. Established in 1958 on the foundation of innovation, bold risk-taking, and relentless hard work, the company made an unforgettable debut when founder Richard “Dick” Fisher astonished Life magazine reporters by sawing a Whaler in half, then confidently piloting the back section across Wampatuck Pond in Massachusetts. In that moment, the Unsinkable Legend was born. From the original 13-foot “blue bathtub” hull to today’s most advanced, powerful, and luxurious models, Boston Whaler has become a true American icon.Author Matthew Plunkett spent years uncovering the full Boston Whaler story, charting its growth from a modest garage in Braintree, Massachusetts, to a sprawling factory in Edgewater, Florida. Drawing on extensive company archives and dozens of interviews, with technical drawings and contemporary photographs as well as a foreword from Fisher’s grandson, the book establishes how Boston Whaler has shaped the boating industry and inspired passionate fans worldwide. 200 photos Read more
