Boston Whaler, the unsinkable legend. These boats are legendary because most everyone thirty plus years in age remembers when Boston Whaler boats stood out from the rest. The chromed brass, polished stainless steel, teak and mahogany, all complimenting the beautiful tan gel coat. They also had as good or better and drier ride than other less attractive boats, and they are unsinkable. But the unsinkable part was an attribute that is also its Achilles heel. The sun and the rain would weather away and erode their ability to keep the elements from doing irreversible damage.
I believe Boston Whaler boats have to be taken care of with more regularity than with other brands because they don't take neglect very well. It's not just the softer gel coat and teak and mahogany, because of the foam filled construction, more care has to be taken to keep it all dry.
