Perhaps some of you may be interested in seeing this. What is amazing is that Boston Whaler now controls 26% of the 13'-17' fiberglass boat market.

That 26% share statistic is quite impressive.

It must really be doing well somewhere else, not so much in Texas, I don't think. Lots of flats boats and scooters sold here for our reletively shallow bays. I've always wondered why Whaler didn't expand that direction as well as focus on big boats. Like a new lo-pro model with a tunnel. Maybe too much of a niche market, but seems like every year a hot new tunnlel drive manufacturer hits the market here.
