The first hull released was a twin sponson, 13ft tub which, for many years was regarded as the ‘Classic’ Boston design many would be familiar with. The company has also conducted other stunts like shooting 1000 rounds of ammo through a hull ‘ it didn’t sink ‘ and driving a massive 32 tonne mining truck over another hull didn’t crush it. In May 1961, Boston Whaler got some great press when Fisher chopped a hull in half and headed off down river in only half a boat.

So given that I still own an old Boston Whaler I was looking forward to putting a new 16′ 6′ (5.05m) big brother of my Classic through its paces to see how things have been progressing.Īs it turned out, the 170 Montauk is a fine example of the evolution of a classic design.īut before I give you the low-down on the Montauk, it may help if I told you a bit about the Boston Whaler Company itself.īoston Whalers have been around since 1958, when the founder, Richard Fisher, developed a new method of hull construction called ‘Unibond’. After 10 years hard labour it’s still ticking along with no cracks and twice the hull’s rated horsepower hanging off the back. The tinnies often needed rewelding, while one of my glass boats had to have its transom replaced. No, I haven’t tried to chop it up into 10 pieces, but it’s had a hard life for all those years.Īs a youngster I was hard on my boats. I can confirm the strength of these vessels, because I have owned a 13ft Classic Whaler for more than 10 years. If you chop a surfboard up into 10 bits, all the bits will still float.
