That's the thing, the Whaler is about $1800 more than the Seahunt but I am
told that the Whaler has a much better resale value down the road so the
$1800 isn't relevant over the life of the boat.

The Seahunt LOOKS more comfortable but then again lots of people are saying
the ride on the Whaler and the stability of it is second to none. I seem to
be even more confused now.

The Seahunt Escape 175 or the Boston Whaler 170 Montauk. The Seahunt has

Primary use will be just cruising along in the lake and ocean off of
Rhode
Island. Not much in the way of fishing but I want people on board to be
comfortable. Any thoughts?


Seahunt is a superior boat for your use. Whaler is overpriced and
meant for fishermen that want maximum speed over comforts like
cushioned seating.
