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.
