I love the Smell of my Boat

[AZBoatDreamer]

I don't know what it is that gives my boat it's Distinctive smell but I love it.

Is it the Upholstery, FiberGlass, carpet, Wax or Vaseline or a combination of all the above.

Do all boats have this Distictive smell. I need to go around and smell peoples boats.

I think I know what it is though. It the warm upholstery after sitting in the Sun.

Does your boat have a distinctive smell to it.

Anyway I love the boat smell.

Stick your head in the bilge of ANY boat, especially those that have washdowns, livewells, fresh water systems, head systems...they all smell the same, regardless of who makes them...and it's not a smell that I "love"...

I love the smell of my boat too.. I don't know what it is.. The only other smell that even compares is the new tire smell.

Upholstery smells are okay to enjoy. But if you think the bilge fumes are what does it for you, I question the perfume you bought for the wife at Christmas time.

Re: I love the Smell of my Boat

first, don't go sniffing upholstery in the daytime.

I love my boat smell (or should I say boating smells): salt air, 2 stroke exhaust, sun screen, bug spray and squid, a sweaty fishing hat, a little "low tide" from around the water line, a waft of a PBR and a wee hint of mildew from the compartments. Lets me know I am cast off and free from land-based chores!

Re: I love the Smell of my Boat

I like to sail. Never liked powerboats; they're noisy, vibrate and smell. Got a wife that wanted a pontoon to go fishing. So happy to have a wife that fishes, that I learned to put up with powerboat shortcommings.

Nothing like the smell of my old 2-stroke Evinrude. Brings back memories of me and my father fishing years ago.

Re: I love the Smell of my Boat

When we bought our I/O last summer, the smell was identical to my memories of my dad's Glastron we had growing up.. Took me back to fun days as a kid. A very calming experience!!

I have also heard that the scent of crayons lowers your blood pressure. Must remind one of the carefree days of youth!!
