Thanks, OB.<br /><br />I visit CW regularly and had read that story before. It is not uncommon for Whalers to becom multigeneration family friends.<br /><br />A heartwarming testimonial.

Re: Boston Whaler Cetacea

what are those 2 little fins on the bottom of the hull? some kinda stabilizers???

Re: Boston Whaler Cetacea

Howdy, MY.<br /><br />Those aren't part of the hull. They must be paint shop items and were just lying on the hull when he took the pic.

JB might not have had time to edit his post... <br /><br />MY, i thought those fins were too symetrically placed to be unused. and then i noticed that the pics caption does mention that they are hull stabilizers.

Re: Boston Whaler Cetacea

You are correct, EBB.<br /><br />I missed that in the caption. <br /><br />I still don't think they are "stock". I have looked at dozens of the 13s and never saw them on any other Whaler.<br /><br />What do you suppose would happen when pulling up on a rocky beach or even venturing into shallow water?
