Interlux Paint

Interlux uses a nice Whaler in one of their advertisements for Micron paint:

I came across it thru the Boston Whaler Navigator where they mentioned paint your Whaler using Interlux.

What is the Boston Whaler Navigator? Is it a website?

The presentation (linked above) is available in really high definition at 1080 HD, and that format is so good you can read the decal on the hull of the Boston Whaler boat that identifies it as an OUTRAGE 20.

By the way, in a lot of the scenes with the boat running on a slow plane, the bow rise is a bit higher than you'd like, which was a criticism often thrown at the OUTRAGE 20 hull.

That was very touching. Makes me realize how old I am. I've been using Interlux for about 40 years, always good results.

There are very few brands, other than Boston Whaler, that you would associate with have so much long term value and durability to be passed from generation to generation. It's great to have a commercial like this remind me of how proud it is to be a Boston Whaler owner.

Jim it is a e-newsletter I get, maybe because I also get the Whaler magazine after paying the Boston Whaler membership fee. It is basically advertising, but has nice tid-bits and news. http://www2.bostonwhaler.com/Navigator

Also yes I noticed that ride too, it can take a wave that way (if it doesn't flip you back) and can you see over the bow?

I've been using Interlux for over 50 years with always great results but never painted a Whaler always kept a clean bottom as a trailerable boat.
