Boston Whaler has been building "unsinkable" boats since 1958 and remains the gold standard for center console fishing boats and offshore-capable vessels. Boaters in Illinois who want a boat they can trust in any conditions — from calm lake mornings to rough open water — choose Boston Whaler for their legendary foam-core construction, exceptional build quality, and deep-V hulls that eat up chop. From the compact 13-foot Super Sport to the flagship 420 Outrage, every Whaler is built with the same unibond construction that has kept the brand at the top of the market for over six decades.
Why Choose Boston Whaler
Unsinkable Unibond Construction
Boston Whaler's signature construction bonds a structural inner liner to the outer hull and fills the cavity with foam. The result is a boat that will not sink, even if the hull is compromised.
Montauk & Outrage Series
The Montauk line delivers classic center console fishing in 17-19 ft packages, while the Outrage series pushes offshore with models from 19-42 ft featuring deep-V hulls and serious fishing capability.
Dauntless Dual Console
The Dauntless line adds a passenger-side console and windshield for a more family-friendly layout that still maintains serious fishing capability with rod holders, livewells, and casting space.
Premium Resale Value
Boston Whalers hold their value better than virtually any other boat brand. 20-year-old Whalers routinely sell for 50-70% of their original price, and classic models have become collector items.
Mercury Marine Partnership
As a Brunswick brand, Boston Whaler is exclusively rigged with Mercury outboards — ensuring perfect hull-to-engine matching and seamless integration of Joystick Piloting and VesselView systems.
