Will the day come when …
Gel coat never needs to be waxed or a dull gel coat is factory standard and looks cool.
Gel coat doesn’t absorb red wine
Boat engines are as reliable as car engines.
Boat refrigerators will automatically defrost themselves
Boat decks never develop soft spots
Boats get reasonable gas mileage.
Boat electronics develop to the point that they never need to be upgraded, like a car radio
Teak becomes popular again because a system is developed to treat it so it never needs attention.
An anchor is developed that never drags and becomes so popular it’s dirt-cheap.
A device is developed to supply gobs of electricity that makes a genset a thing of the past.
Boats are produced that never have deck leaks.
Fenders are self-cleaning
A stainless steel is developed and becomes standard on all boats that never needs polishing and never rusts.
A forward-looking device will tell you to turn now before you run aground and underwater running gear is developed that are impervious to grounding damage.
A device standard on all planning boats that eliminates boat wakes.
Boat smells are a thing of the past because holding tanks are unnecessary. The toilet flushes directly overboard with effluent cleaner than the surrounding water.
Guidance systems are developed that don’t require skill to dock. You can turn it off if you want to practice that skill. Kinda like autoland for you pilot guys. The guidance systems works with an engine shut down.
Boat mechanics become scarce because they are hardly needed.
Coolers become unnecessary because a device is develop that makes an individual beer ice cold instantly.
Boats become cheap enough that the average guy can easily afford one and the water ways become so crowded that no one has any fun any more. Oops, scratch this one.
