Boston Whaler displayed eleven boats at the New York Boat Show. In the center and hanging from the ceiling was a huge rotating Whaler sign which read:
"Best Selling Outboard Fiberglass Boat Manufacturer 23' and Above in the Greater New York City Metro Area".
I'm both surprised and impressed, congrats to BW!

We went to NYC in early September this past year. We stayed with friends who lived in apartments on the Jersey City side that were built on a pier out over the water on the Hudson. The new WTC I was located right across the river from their apartment. What a view! Staying there we were able to observe as all the boats navigated the river.
Our friends were also member of the Manhattan Yacht Club. We sailed the Hudson one day from the Statue of Liberty up the river quite a ways, and back.
I never saw a single Whaler anywhere during our trip. Not anywhere navigating the river, and not in the Manhattan Harbor. I was disappointed to say the least. Apparently, they must be somewhere else.

I wonder if BW changes that sign depending on what city the show is in?!?! Don't believe the hype. Great boats, not sure that they sell
that many new with all the competition out there...for much less $$$$.
But, I could be wrong.
