I know this is not a Whaler but well worth the look: http://www.sportfishingmag.com/brightcove_playlists/video/1204619663001 |

Very impressive, only I drive my whaler on water, not pavement. Can a Seahunter sink? That is my fear with boats. |

After they drop the boat and rigged it, went for a ride, put the boat back on land and cut the boat in half (about 1/3 off the bow in front of the console) and took it out for a ride. |

Oh! I never watched the video to the end--will have to go back and watch the full clip. A few years back I ordered and bought a Turboswing after you posted about it here and vouched for the quality of its components. It has been great! I hope I don`t have to buy a Seahunt next ;-) |

That is quite a demonstration, and quite a large boat hull to cut in half. I wonder if there were some other problem with hull that made it expendable. At the cost and selling price of a big 35-foot (or longer) offshore hull, you wouldn't think a manufacturer would destroy one like that. |

Jim since it was a promotion for the company I'm sure the accountant/lawyer for the company rule it as advertising and was written off, It still is a shame to do this to a perfectly nice boat.... |

Ft Lauderdale boat show is next week, that hull cost less than their booth probably...what better way to advertise than with 1/2 a boat in the water for testrides. Wait, I think I have seen that before. |

I fish from the decks of this 35' Sea Hunter .... it is one solid well built boat. It will run with the best of them. Fit and finish is great. This boat is six years old. 90 miles offshore in a Sea Hunter ..... video |
