I have to say that there are as good if not better boats for the money than the Whaler, sorry to rain on that. I agree with everything else however. There are others built to specs that meet or exceed the Whaler for a lot less. With Whaler you are paying more for the name and hype. Honestly, I have been told from a nationally acredited marine surveyor's opinion that in the case of the Whaler "they don't build them like they used to". After being bought out by the Brunswick Corp the sentiment is that they are now more about mass production.

How can you compare foam under the seats to a foam filled hull for floatation? I am just not seeing it.
Here is a good link to the history of Whaler:
