For the Money they are charging for those new whalers you would think they would have incorporated more new technology. Dont get me wrong... I get the whole whaler thing.. But hand spraying the gel Coat??? Come on!!! I was at a local showroom last weekend looking at the new big conquest, not to buy, but just to see it. I was not impressed with the fit and finish at all. Thats a $300K boat. I dont want to offend anyone, but, Thats a $300K boat and the hull gelcoat was awefull. Just seems like they need to step it up a bit or just stick with the smaller stuff. Ed 1991 Montauk 17 - 2012 ETEC 90HP

That can be a good or bad thing depending on what side of that fence you are on. The foam pour demonstration was really neat. That stuff expands and looks really tough when cured.

Was thinking if the woman who was responsible for wiping on the release agent missed even a little spot, that would cause a significant issue. And maybe it was my perception, but she didn't seem all that happy... Maybe just camera shy! And when they showed the chop gun shooting, it looked like the resin and hardner were coming out of different nozles and being mixed right there, which surprised me a bit... Still, was a great look into how they're made. Thanks for the post! Edited by Derwd24 on 02/14/08 - 11:54 AM

Member Personal Page Posts: 439 Comments: 2 Joined: 07/11/07	I agree. Itwas fun to see how they are made. I think Boston whaler should have really put on a better appearance with its employees and the process. Everyone in the world is familiar with the name "Boston Whaler" and there is this chick with a rolled up towel with a sweatshirt on wiping the mold down. At the end they were talking to the rigger who didnt really portray quality. I may sound picky, and Im sure nobody saw the episode, but I was unimpressed. I was recentily watching Ship Shape TV and they did a tour of the Sea Ray factory and it was unreal. I dont think Sea ray is the bench mark for quality, but atleast it seemed that way on TV. I still love my 1991 montauk and do not want a new one. Maybe just a new engine. Man, I better increase my therapy. Ed 1991 Montauk 17 - 2012 ETEC 90HP
