Author	Topic:   Gelcoat on newer Boston Whalers
podosky	posted 04-28-2008 09:12 PM ET (US)         Is the gelcoat on newer Boston Whalers vinylester? We have a 2006. I recently read an article in a fishing/boating magazine which stated that vinylester gelcoat layups are higher quality than the more common polyester type gelcoats.
