WHO IS BOSTON WHALER?
Boston Whaler is an iconic name in boating in America and is synonymous with fishing and safety. The company came into existence in 1958 in Massachusetts founded by a man called Richard T Fisher who originally called it the “Fisher-Pierce Company” (no, not the toy company!). He soon changed the name to Boston Whaler and pioneered the unique hull construction, “Unibond.” Unibond is a construction technique that is the core of the Boston Whaler fleet: an inner and outer skin of fibreglass that is filled with liquid polymer expanding foam injected at high pressure to fill the voids in the hull, setting to become one solid piece. The outer and inner hull moulds are laid up simultaneously. The inner mould is lowered into the outer mould and they are locked together. Whaler boats are two and a half times more buoyant than the minimum requirements set by the US Coast Guard. To test the effectiveness of the hull, the US Marine Corps fired more than 1000 rounds of .50 calibre and 7.62mm ammunit
