It was announced earlier today that Boston Whaler has cut a deal with Costco that will offer buyers an opportunity to save up to $2000 toward the purchase of one of Boston Whaler's small boat models.


You won't actually find the boat sitting on the floor at a Costco store. The company will be working with nearby dealers as a part of this promotional effort and will offer cash certificates that can be turned into the savings as I understand it.


This is not the first boat company to team up with Costco. Sea Ray has had a program in place with them for some time.


The Whaler deal is being run on a trial basis through this September so if you're interested in one of Boston Whaler's great small boats, get to a Costco and check it out.
