This is a fun way to stir the pot. :hammer2:
Give me your top 10 boat builders in the two following categories:
Top 10 Vee builders (West Coast Only)
Top 10 Cat builders (West Coast Only)
This usually turns out to be a fun discussion. :boxingguy :argue:

In order to maintain friends with the guy who bought mine I will say that I made some cash on mine.
I'm waiting to inherit a 1979 v-drive twin turbo og condition from my dads best friend. He paid something like 5500 for it in 79. I'd say it's worth atleast 25-30k as of now.
I can't tell you the last time i heard of someone ever making money on their boat, unless it was a schiada.

Was it a twin turbo stock in 1979, if so good deal? Has anything been done to it since then? Also when you look at the value of money over 26 years, it's probably not unheard of to make money off the inital purchase price....but over the last year, I have seen several (3-4 year old) Schiada's sell for less the what they were bought for....Not a 26 year old boat.

This boat has always been garaged and is better kept than most new boats. At one time it was going well over 100mph but has been toned down to mabey 90 easy. Yes the TT's are all OG. The boat is yellow and white with a ugly brown tandem trailer. When I get her she's going all red. Someday

I left off anyone who has not been in business 6 years or more even if they make a damn nice boat!
This is my overall opinion of fit, finish and GEL QUALITY AND CREATIVITY. extraneous bling doesn't rank IMHO because thats the owners job.
It would change if we were talking about performance and add east coast.
