Music Man restores vintage Boston Whalers.

[Lake X Kid]

Read Fasse, a former record executive and classically trained violinist ended up restoring vintage Boston Whalers in Nashville, Tennessee, he points to his childhood.

Growing up, Fasse spent weekends on Georgia’s Lake Allatoona and summers on the Gulf Coast in Sarasota, Florida, where he whiled away the hours behind the wheel of his father’s 1979 15-foot Boston Whaler Striper.

"Today, Whaler-crazy clients from across the U.S. as well as such far-flung destinations as Australia, the U.K., Colombia, and Martinique seek out Fasse’s work. A handful of clients bring him their own vintage hulls to restore, but most opt to have FassēCo. source the hull for them. “We’re really choosy about what we select for our clients,” he says. “There are plenty of old Whalers out there, but not all of them are restorable. Of the boats we look at, we probably only buy 2 percent of them.”

"Once the hull is procured, the complete restoration process takes about ten weeks."
