If you're into boats, you probably know about Boston Whaler. They're the ones who make those cool foam-filled fiberglass boats that can't sink, even if you cut them in half! But do you know how they got started? Here's a short history of Boston Whaler for you.

Boston Whaler was founded in 1958 by Richard T. Fisher and C. Raymond Hunt, two avid boaters who wanted to create a safer and more durable boat that could handle the rough waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Fisher’s first product was a 13-foot boat that he called “The Cox’n”, later renamed the “Standard” model. It had a unique hull design inspired by the Hickman Sea Sled, which featured a cathedral shape with a center nacelle and two outer runners. Hunt helped Fisher refine the design and add a third runner in the middle to improve stability and handling.

But the most innovative feature of the boat was its construction method: Fisher filled the space between the fiberglass skins with polyurethane foam, which made the boat extremely buoyant and resistant to damage. He famously demonstrated this by sawing a boat in half and showing that both halves could still float and carry passengers. This earned Boston Whaler the reputation of being “the unsinkable legend”.

Boston Whaler soon expanded its product line to include larger models, such as the 16-foot Nauset and the 19-foot Eastport, as well as different styles, such as the Sport, the Montauk, and the Outrage. The company also developed a loyal customer base among fishermen, recreational boaters, and even military and law enforcement agencies, who appreciated the reliability, versatility, and performance of Boston Whaler boats.

Today, Boston Whaler is still one of the leading boat manufacturers in the world, offering a wide range of models from 11 to 42 feet in length. The company is now owned by Brunswick Corporation and operates from a state-of-the-art facility in Edgewater, Florida. Boston Whaler continues to innovate and improve its products, while staying true to its core values of quality, safety, and fun.

Our customer bought into the Boston Whaler ideology and purchased himself the Dauntless model. The model fit his needs perfectly but as an avid fisherman, he has the tendency to leave in the early hours of the morning. Traveling in pitch black is no fun and unsafe so our customer came to us for ultra bright Boston Whaler LED lights.

• Light Switch: CE Compliant 3 Pin Rocker switch encompassed in a water-proof housing. A red power indicator light will illuminate when the light is on, which is bright enough to be seen during the day but dim enough so it will not cause a distraction when the light bar is powered on at night.
• Relay: 4 pin water resistant relay is rated for 12 volts and 40 amps. The relay also includes a heavy-duty mount allowing for multiple mounting locations. 
• In-Line Fuse: Industry standard blade-type fuse encased in a water-resistant
• Wire: Is wrapped in extra thick thermoplastic insulation. The terminal ends are soldered and insulated in heat shrink tubing to prevent contamination from foreign materials. A rugged PVC encases the wires for a very professional looking installation. 
  • Wiring Lengths: Aurora provides you with a total of 16 feet of wiring.
  • From the relay, you will have eight feet of wiring to the LED Light bar, four feet of wiring to the on/off switch, and four feet of wiring to the battery.
