Boston Whaler Owner's Bag

Hey guys, I've been away a while. My name on the old forum name was Florida15. Kinda got out of boating for a while but recently bought a 1993 13' Sport from a relative that I have been thoroughly enjoying. It's got a 35 hp Honda on it.
It came with one of the off-white vinyl owner's bag with the red Whaler emblem.
The bag is not in the best of shape and the zipper is rusted and broken.
Anybody have a source to buy these bags new? Thanks and I hope to spend more time on the new forum.
Steve

The bags pop up on ebay all the time, and a bit pricey at that.

Vinyl zipper bags of various sizes can be purchase on-line from a number of sources. These, of course, lack the imprint of the Boston Whaler logotype.
It is possible to have custom made on a small order basis some vinyl letter transfers which can be used to decorate a generic vinyl zipper bag. Some years ago another fellow and I collaborated to make a number of small vinyl zipper bags with Boston Whaler lettering transferred onto them; we distributed these as gifts to the fleet of about ten boats that joined our cruise of Georgian Bay that year. While the Boston Whaler name and logotype are most likely registered trade marks, I don't think there is much harm or infringement if you made your own Boston Whaler bag.
There are many sources for custom vinyl lettering transfers. See

There are many sources of vinyl faux-leather zipper bags, See

Guys, let me tell you about the quality of the members on this forum.
Shortly after I posted this , I got an e-mail from member Frontier who lives in North Carolina.
He said that he had an extra bag and that I am welcome to it. I offered to at least pay shipping but he wouldn't hear of it.
Just a couple of days later, a super-nice red nylon Boston Whaler owner's bag showed up at my door.
Thanks so much Gary, we need more people like you in this world.

That is a great outcome. Based on that, I think I am going to post an article asking if anyone knows where I can get a 345 CONQUEST.
