I had a chance to tour the Boston Whaler factory and got a live demonstration of their foaming process. It’s pretty incredible and really helps understand what makes these boats such high quality.
My first boat when I was 10 y.o. was an 11' Boston Whaler dinghy my grandfather towed behind his Bertram in the summer to the Bahamas. That same BW, with the same 25Evinrude and cable steering, is being captained by my 13 y.o. son. Plenty of spun hubs on oyster beds up the north fork of Loxahatchee river taught me to have an extra prop on board. That BW has had barnacles scraped off her hull, bottom paint, paint stripper, no telling how many coats of wax and starbright, and now has a lofty view- hanging dockside over Tequesta water where she resides... Anxiously awaiting her next adventurous voyage... Eager to prove her seaworthiness and display her youthful appearance, despite her true age.
Top secret. BW Owens the patent. BW was building incredibly high quality boats when most manufacturers were build junk. I got my first BW in 1959. Now their are plenty of well designed, engineered and built boats but none are better than BW. BW does not skimp on anything.
@@Mr91495osh Top Secret? LOL, NOT TRUE... They use the same 2-part foam since the beginning, it will absorb water. Boston Whaler still uses wood for their Transom core material while most other top tier manufacturers switched to lighter, stronger Composites a decade ago! I love my Whaler but it does have design flaws from the factory.
