Boston Whalers vs Haulover Inlet (The Unsinkable Legend) BOAT ZONE

Boston Whalers are boats that have a reputation for being unsinkable. It’s their motto for advertising, but does this accurately describe them? Is a Boston Whaler really unsinkable? The brand further claims that their boat building team renders superior workmanship that makes them the best choice for safety and dependability. We were intrigued with the claim and really wanted to know so we looked into the claim to learn everything we could to determine if it is really true. Here is what we learned.

Is Boston Whaler really unsinkable?! Let me know

[@zackpapazahariou6557]

Yes, it's foam filled throughout!

[@Muskieangler]

I have one and while I'm sure it won't sink, it can get swamped, smash and flip. Boating can be dangerous. Stay safe.

[@alanjm1234]

It's not difficult to build a boat so it can't sink. Archimedes explains how.

[@muman54]

Back in the sixties I watched them cut one in half and row it away from the dock. Loved them ever since.

[@billyrayvalentine7972]

My family had an 11 foot 15 foot 17 foot and 21 foot. I've been in the worst conditions in the bay and the oceans. They are a rough wet boat but incredible in the roughest of waters.

[@leroypadgett6834]

I had a 13' whaler back in the 80's when I lived in Brevard county. Sure do miss it. Had some great adventures! Yes they are unsinkable!

[@jackshittle]

Somehow when I was in 10th grade my mom was ok with me taking my brand new 13' Boston Whaler up & down the Manasquan River, NJ & if the wind was right, out to the mile marker in the Atlantic Ocean (this was in the mid 1980's). I would ride my bike to the marina to use the boat. One day I came back way past the time that I said I'd be back. My family called the Coast Guard & supposedly they were looking for me. When I pulled up to my house on my bike, I got layed into by my mom & grandfather. Right now my oldest daughter is in 10th grade and there isn't a snowballs chance in hell that I would even let her ride her bike to the marina, let alone fire up a boat with her friend & go down the river and into the ocean.

[@jamesstack7827]

Great story.

[@JamesThomas-dn6hz]

Yep! I would say the times, they are a changing...but they gone and already changed.

[@jackshittle]

@@jamesstack7827 Thanks.

[@WILLed_into_Existence]

Lmao 80s and 90s moms had free run children for the most part. I would do the same and disappear for half a day with my friends on our dirt bikes. Riding down roads and trails far away from the house. Was a different time man.

[@slpguy6026]

@@JamesThomas-dn6hzyeah different time & place. There are a lot of things I did, dozens, that my kids couldn’t or weren’t allowed to do. But I did my best to give them some of the same freedoms I had. This comment makes mom sound terrible. No. It was just a privileged childhood in a different time. I still question whether my kids would have been better off with such freedoms in the long run.

[@scottn5631]

We need to see more footage of the last whaler with the Pelican riding on the bow!!! Lol and please

[@michaelgarrity6090]

It was great to see an entire video dedicated just to Boston Whalers. They are still fine boats. I would just say to those going out this inlet in them, with the kinds of conditions they had, just have everyone on board wear a PFD.

[@kimnoble7496]

Nice video. A true testament to the Whaler brand. Tougher than nails! Nothing compares. "If we could only build them fast enough".

[@Whalermansteve84]

I’ve owned my 1966 13 whaler for 20 years now and still love her to the day I purchased her. I’m brand loyal to whaler and will always love whalers

[@RatdogDRB]

My favorite Boat Zone video yet! LOVE me some visuals of the 'skeeter fleet of Boston Whalers! The 10'-15' range is what gets my juices flowing. Now, gimme one of those with twin egg-beaters (little fellers) and I'm in heaven!

[@danhornaday7319]

The captain who turned that dauntless around wasn't...... dauntless.

[@brinkee7674]

Had an old Whaler back in the 80's. 15' What a boat she was. Had a hammerhead as big as the boat tow us around for 2 hours till we got it boat side and nearly shat ourselves. Yes we needed a bigger boat. That boat earned us so much money and the joy we had was priceless. Nothing better than summers on Cape Cod in Whaler

[@ErickTrivedi]

Im 4:46 in the older 22 ft. Great video-thanks!!!

[@jazzcowboy18]

There will never be another boat ever built that will even be half as cool as a classic whaler 13

[@buckhorncortez]

Unlimited hydroplanes are far cooler...

[@lbbradley55]

Cape Horn boats are.

[@Icutmetal]

@@lbbradley55 Sure.

[@lbbradley55]

[@earlsmithson4749]

Hay Boat Zone, I love brand specific vids. Keep ‘em coming.

Thank you. We already did the following: Boston Whalers, Deep Impact, Midnight Express. Check my playlist: Boat vs Haulover

[@juketurbo321]

That first guy in the little boat was having a great time

[@goaski474]

In capable hands Whaler's simply kill it. Best hull/ride combo on the water, IMO.

[@Hole_Motorsports]

They slam too much

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

5:27 pirates love them as well

[@ryanparsons8977]

These videos never get old

[@artvandelay8090]

When Boston Whaler came out with their model, "The Outrage," what they were doing was naming that boat after the pricing scheme for all of their boats.

[@ojtamayosr]

😂

[@goaski474]

You get what you pay for pal.

[@artvandelay8090]

@@goaski474 Uh, nah. Overpricing is a thing, and Boston Whalers are notoriously overpriced. Frankly, I'm surprised that the brand has lasted. They still haven't figured out hull design. Whalers are the wettest boat on the water. They should provide 5 free sets of rain gear for every boat they sell to prevent the owners from getting soaked to the skin and freezing cold on every trip out. They used to have a model called the "Sakonnet." They should have spelled it "suck-on-it."

[@jeffs6819]

Yeah they are very expensive. Took them forever to get away from the tri hull (pounding your teeth to dust) design. The foam can get waterlogged if water finds a way in, like a hairline crack or unsealed penetration.

[@AnnexF]

You sound like a hater. Look at this video. The only thing getting wet is your ego@@artvandelay8090

[@JamesThomas-dn6hz]

I'm always impressed at how those boats handle the Atlantic coast given their size and design. They apparently know how to design one heck of a boat.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

Not just design, but build them.

[@mustangdocter]

Family has a 27 dauntless. Nice hybrid between bay and offshore and it eats up 5 feet like a 30+ offshore rig would. Such an amazing ride

[@mustangdocter]

The 27 driver in this video has no clue how to operate unfortunately

[@LordCowbxyRDR]

@@mustangdocter I’ve got a 21’ Dauntless, so much fun to rip around and find fish

[@TheKrawallkurt]

Undercut waves multiple times in my 13. Boat floated and allways came back up. So YES . Unsinkable for sure!

[@mattcaesar5781]

Whaler is a legend. I used to have mckee crafts which is basically the same thing. Tough as nails and rode like a tank but you were confident when it got sketchy

[@kencrouch668]

That has been the Whaler's Slogan - unsinkable - if you go back in history that have advertised where they have a 13 footer in a lake and cut it in half with a chain saw and neither side sank. The are supposed to have superior floatation. My friend has a 17 foot Montauk and it is a good boat. They are pricey! Curious as to why people go out in heavy waves without wearing a life vest? I am aware it is not "manly" but I wear a Mustang inflatable when I go out on my friends boat in a lake. Yes - I can swim but I can also hit my head on the bow or stern when I go over in a rogue wave too!

[@mustangdocter]

I have waited so long for this. Nothing rides like a whaler

[@noellaboy7980]

Thanks Boat Zone! Trip down memory lane with some of those classic Whalers. Own 2 classics myself ! 1965 13 ft and a 1977 15”3’.

[@noellaboy7980]

And yes , unsinkable. Self bailing and foam filled! Me encantan!

[@bricenip]

kick ass video guys!! got a 320 Vantage on my list and its wicked to see the lineup in action in that inlet. cheers!

[@tidalfight2738]

Only a select few in this video even knew how to drive a boat to begin with. They don't deserve a whaler!

[@buckhorncortez]

They "deserve" whatever they can afford to buy.

[@jamesstack7827]

I noticed that. But the boat seems to carry them through. I’ve got a 71 Nauset with a brand new 90 horse mercury. Wooden interior. Still stomps across the waves.

[@jessstone7486]

Seems to me that Haulover is THE place to take a prospective boat, prior to purchase. If you can get a decent ride here, under various speeds, in my view you'd be good to go! PS those whalers looked anything but smooth, in Haulover! rib crackin', for sure-

[@artvandelay8090]

They might not sink, but they sure as heck can capsize.

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

0:53 and break backs

[@leroypadgett6834]

They used to also come with a lifetime warranty. The warranty could also be transferred one time. Not sure if they still do.

[@tward9153]

Great, safe boat. Started my offshore adventures in a 17' Montauk back in 1988. Took it shark fishing 30 miles off the beach with a single Johnson 88hp and 4 extra tanks. Miss the adventure but my knees have never recovered.... life time hull warranty should come with free knee replacement. Even with the new designs the videos show a harsh ride. Trade off I guess for safety..... tight lines!

[@santiagovaldez4237]

The ride on that 420 Outrage (6:08) is amazing, seems like its on a paved road

[@JoseRivera-tl2dy]

I have a dauntless 17 dual console - fricken amazing whaler!

[@raymartin1912]

why do these ppl sit up the front.... why doesnt the guy that owns the boat tell them its the worst place to sit?

[@Mystygirl64]

Saw your videos and subscribed....loving all breath taking waves and boats that can tackle on her waves! Here from Missouri and surounded by (big) lakes....we see (many types and shapes) roll thru...not to mention HUGE boats...in my opinion belong in the open waters of the sea! Though our lakes can take them on.... perhaps their looking for more peaceful romantic life that a calm lake (simple) waves give them than violent waves! Just thinking how weird to see (small) boats there tackling waves and/surviving! Sadly here there's many boating accidents (which sure there of course) which here small area lakes unfortunate! It gets crazy here too! Anyway GREAT FAV of 'MIDNITE EXPRESS' preferably 4 to 6 450 HP Mercury's lowboard trailing behind! Love the excitement...love it LIFE

[@karipintakivi9153]

Boston Whalers are good boats, unsinkable also. But I think the main reason they are doing so well at the Haulover is that sensible people buy Whalers. We do no see bikini babies falling off the bow here.

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

Last time they said something couldn't sink, I believe the rumor is even God couldn't sink this ship, never a good idea to temp God, that big sucker is at the bottom of the ocean

[@alanjm1234]

That wasn't the last time someone said a vessel was unsinkable. More probably the first! It's actually easy enough to build a boat so it can't sink. Foam or balsa cored fibreglass and some attention to design. Much more difficult with a ship made of steel though.

[@mikemcintyre9494]

The montauk is foam core.. There is literally no voids in the hull... You could pound every inch of it with your fist, and it will all sound the same... Solid.. No real give... You can fill the boat with a firehose, to the gunnels, with a full load of people on board, and the power head of the outboard will still be above water.. Will it protect you from stupidity at the helm? Well. It sure will make the effort... You could take it out, shoot it full of holes with a 50 caliber, and still float

[@kimnoble7496]

Yeah!!!

[@MEdGrant]

Unsinkable? I guess if the sum total weight of everything clamped onto the transom exceeds the buoyancy of the upset hull...it's going down. What I see with almost all of them is that the power attached (and that includes weight) is a good balance for the hull.
