Re: Whale Board

Hi, Richard. If Boston Whaler endorses it, it must be good stuff. I have asked for a catalog/price list. It might turn out to be as costly as Starboard, but it might also be stronger.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB

Re: Whale Board

Very durable,and very costly. But if you are gonna keep the boat for a long time, it will pay for itself. An area prone to damage will eventually go south again.<br />Also check into "Starlite", made by the same folks who make "Starboard". It is lighter and cheaper than starboard.

JB, 12Fotter<br />Thanks for the tip went to Kings web sit (http://www.kingplastic.com/main.php3?link=products.htm) they make both starlite and starboard. That gives me more to price and to see how far I will need to go to get it! I hope it dosen't get to costly I have under a grand in this old boat!<br />Richard
