I placed a call to Boston Whaler to see if Chuck Bennett (my go to resource when asking questions about my hull) had insight regarding the dimensions of my fuel tank (I recently contacted Florida Marine Tanks). Several changes in the tank design over the years. Well. in our chatting he mentioned his retirement in the next week or two. I always found him accommodating to any questions about my classic 1979 hull. I will miss him. I am also saddened by the fact that the heir apparent to knowledge about the older hulls is non existent. None of the younger generation of employees took interest. To me a generational thing. Grey haired, hands on, craftsmen (I will include myself) appear to be a dying breed. I do try to teach when possible. My best Chuck.
