Boston Whalers - To buy or not to buy.
 
I've been a long time fan of Boston Whalers. (Been a passenger - never an
owner.)
My question is this, whey don't I see more of them? Is it due to their
expensive price tag?
Or am I missing something? Tnx!

They are grossly over priced but VERY fine boats none the less. I see a lot of
the smaller ones around Niantic. Don't see many over 19 feet. I suspect the
price tag is the biggest issue. There are many other fine boats out there,
Parker, Grady and others for a lot less money. Frankly I don't know how BW stays
in business with the prices they charge on their larger models. I'm in the 25 -
30 foot market and Whalers are 15K++ more than equvilent Grady's. What is up
with that? It isn't like I'm comparing them to a Proline or some other sleaze
bucket tub. Bottom line is you can't go wrong with a Whaler but you could easily
get features and reliability just as good for a lot less money.
