Our newest addition to the Los Buzos fleet. This Whaly 455 is a 100% Rotomoulded Polyethylene 14.8ft boat. We plan to use it for short distance trips, kayak overwatch, and supplying bait and other assistance to kayakers when fishing around Vaca. This is our first time launching a boat on a trailer from the beach, we are learning with this as we go and had a blast doing it... check out how it goes!
Pretty impressed by this thing, seems to be a perfect addition for close range fishing and security. It should be virtually unsinkable and is very easy to manage in the surf. Let me know what you think of this thing and if you think this boat would fit your needs!
If you want one for yourself, check out Nautical Ventures!
To book a trip with us check out our website losbuzos.com and send an email to info@losbuzos.com to confirm your spot!

To make launch and retrieval easy, re-engineer the trailer to what's called a hinged trailer. Extend the drawbar and hinge it twelve inches past the trailer chassis V. The V will now be formed into a down facing channel, at this point a sliding tongue is required on the drawbar to lock the chassis. In retrieval, when winch pressure is applied the unlocked chassis will hinge up, in doing so will lower the rear of the trailer to form a ramp. This also aids in a soft launch. In Australia this style of trailer was all the rage for small boats in the 70s and 80s. Most people are amazed to see it in operation, I hope this helps. Cheers

That was a lot of nervous laughter around the 11 minute mark lol.

Rotomolded plastic boats are the killer-app for watercraft. Inherently buoyant (unsinkable), inherently anti-fouling (no marine biota consumes it), lightweight, inexpensive, built-ins friendly, and easy to repair holes if stranded on a deserted island (just need a magnifying glass, a plastic bottle, and sun). Whaley’s not the first RMP boat, but looks like a great boat to have and to hold.

"Put it down and storm the beach" 😂 that gave me a good chuckle.

Add a hydro foil to the 40hp.

Have been running whaly boats for arround 3 years now at my saling school, they all struggle a little to get on plane and putting people more forward while trying to plane it and then making them sit mid ship has worked good for us.
