This was the given as a Keynote presentation at the 2024 Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum antique boat show.
The video is a complete history of Boston Whaler through the classic years to be best of my knowledge and understanding. It covers from Fisher and Hunt's development of the original hull design, the founding of the company, unique manufacturing processes, Dougherty's uniques designs of all the classics and a chronological model release history.
Also, how Brunswick's investment in the brand has saved Whaler from going under. And finally, how if Fisher was alive today, I truly believe he would be focused on building the large boats the brand does today, because that is what the market demands.
Heads up, it’s an hour long, but I hope you enjoy.
