If you believe the ads, a Whaler will float after you cut it in two
with a chain saw.

Never tried it. :-)

I think it is an issue with "inland" boaters who have no ocean
experience. I suppose if I boated on a little lake, I'd be scared, too.

I'd like to, but no one with a Whaler will allow me to get near it with
my Sawzall.

Whaler usually has an aft 1/2 of a boat motoring around at "in the
water" boat shows so, yes, it can be done. I've only seen it in calm
water though. Methinks it'd get a bit wet in a chop ;-)

Wet is a *lot* better than submerged.

What is it with these folks who think that one should remain perfectly
dry in a boat? Are they from Seattle, or something, where an ounce of
spray causes hypothermia?

Yeah, but in the real world, if a whaler were in pieces, it probably
was not cut nicely in half with a keen blade. I am envisioning sharp
torn edges of metal and fiberglass, rolling in the chop, trying to
drag you under. Don't know if I would want to stick around for that.

Wayne,

I have no doubt about Harry's honesty.

Ahh, I see Boatless Herring is "overinterpreting" one of my posts again
to serve his purposes. He must sleep in the same bed as Reggie Retardo
and the rest of the losers.
