I should not buy a boat from Martin at Orion Boats.
I had a great conversation with him a little while ago and looked over most of the 24' cat he has. Great looking boat, quality looks real good, and the seems to be one of the best.
I just want to hear positive o rnegative comments about past dealings, current owners, etc. This is about the only place to come and get so many different opinions from so many different people.
Thanks.

I know what you mean. I only wish I could afford something new. I'd just hate to see you buy something for the price and after you take it out for the first time you may not like it. I'm not saying they are bad boats just for you to make sure you take a test ride to see if you like the way they handle.

I also really doubt you will see anywhere near 68mph in real world conditions with a standard 496.(Closer to 60)
Seems they have been making some nice boats lately. :)

Martin is a professional.....
If you like the boat (and test drove it)
and you like the builder
and you get the boat you want at the price you want...
Then you have done what boat buyers do...
I chuckle when I hear people on this board put one or another boat company done or say negative things. If I polled every one on this board I bet I could find bad and good things about every boat manufacturer...
So again if you like what you see go for it............

I agree but I think you need to find a happy medium.
With the rising cost of insurance and gas how can us middle classers justify spending that much for a boat?(We do OK but would be stupid to spend 10-20% of our income on a hobby that depreciates)
My next boat will probably be a 100-125K 525 equipped cat.(I am OK with 80mph and have no desire to stuff a Quad rotor in a family performance boat)
My current boat is a large 28' Open bow with a TON of room. It's equipped with a HO and runs a top speed in summer heat of 65mph (GPS Speedo) I still enjoy driving it at those speeds and when the need arises I can pack it down comfortably with 14 people and a ton of cocktails.
We took it out 2 weeks ago and ran it all we wanted to (Springs,channel,Steamboat,etc..) and used very little gas.this boat costs us $800 a year with high liability and no lay up.
Am I having less fun then Union Jack and his new DCB? Is the guy in the 20K seadoo boat having less fun than me(Probably not)
If the guy is struggling to justify a 60K cat why push him to spend an extra 25K for 7mph.
Shoot...Like you the more I go out the more I think about a nice 28' Pontoon.

I have never been in one since they fixed the bottom of it. I know the 1st one was kinda "funky" in the handling department becuase I drove it. I've heard they finally got it dialed in from a couple of different people. I've also seen a few of them popping up around Parker. I asked one of the guys about the boat and he was VERY happy with it!
For my personal opinion I can say this during my brief stint in the marine business Martin was one of the few people that was a pleasure to deal with! He's as stand up as stand up gets, and I personally wouldn't hesitate to buy a boat off of him if I was happy with the product. He's been in the boat business long enough that he's not going anywhere so you shouldn't have any worries over warranty issues or anything like that. That 24' Cat is Sharp looking! One of my favorite looking boats!

That 24' cat should not have any problems seeing upper 60's with a 496 Mag. My 496 Mag powered 24' Ultra see's that kind of speed without any problems.
I'd definetly spend a little more and get the HO if I was buying that boat. I'm sure that boat would run in the low to mid 70's with an HO. I think it would be fairly cheap on insurance also.

If your seeing upper 60's (GPS) in a 25' boat thats loaded with gas and people thats truly impressive. :)
I do think that the 24' Genisis cat would run low to mid 70's with a HO and a light load.

What is impressive about that? My boat isn't 25'. It really has about only a 23' running surface. It weighs probably no more than 3500lb.
I've never GPS'ed mine before but Thor has the same boat as me but with a Mag HO. He has GPS'ed his boat with regular load on it in the low to mid 70's. When I bought my boat, I asked them how much more I would see with an HO? They said a few more MPH. The speedo has never read more than 72 but we all know they are not accurate. So I would guess my boat runs in the upper 60's.

I would say with a HP525 in that boat it would take a large jump. I got a friend who just bought a Cobra 26 Venom cat and he went with a 496 Mag Ho. He told insurance took a big jump in $$ if he stepped up to a HP525 or bigger.

I'm sure most of you have read the recent Hot Boat test report that has it at 66.6mph with the 496mag and an open bow. Looks like a great piece for the middle classer on a budget like myself. Make mine an HO though in blue and silver.

I dunno, not really. The extra 3-5 mph the HO would have gotten me still does not seem worth the extra $4k it would have cost me to upgrade. I hardly ever run wide open anyway. I usually cruise between 40-50 mph.

Martin - stand up guy, one of the few around. Always a pleasure to deal with.
I've heard from several people that they fixed the bottom, including from Martin himself. He was leary about going into production on the boat until he got the problem fixed. He's super confident now that the product is as good as good gets. His market is AFFORDABLE custom boats, custom boats that will get you out on the water, look good, without breaking the bank.
I couldn't agree with this more. In the boat biz 9 outta 10 are crooks.. Martin is the 1 out of 10 that's stand up.

if you're looking for a reason not to buy...just don't do it.
reads and looks like a very nice boat for the money and I like the power and hull it has. Like several have said $4k is a nice chunk for top end you won't use much anyway. enjoy the test ride and keep in mind it'll be your first ride in your new boat! few things in life can be as good! enjoy it while you've got it!

Insurance God
09-11-2006, 09:47 AM
Also keep in mind the b.s. called insurance. Performance boats under 26ft are hard to write. Foremost used to take them but now they won't write a CAT w/ a top speed over 65mph (which is all CATS).

Newcastle

Just saw this thread. First and foremost Martin is a great guy to do business with. He's been true to his word since day 1. Everything he promised he has come through with even if he's busy with other customers.
Insurance isn't too bad, that's why I stuck with the HO. We've had it up to 70 but in perfect conditions. Summer Havasu with coolers and drunkards it'll get to 63/64.
They have a write-up on the 24' in the new ***boat. They had lots of positives to mention and the only negatives were petty things like the cooler locations.

Can anyone give me a reason I should not buy a boat from Martin at Orion Boats.
Thanks.
I have met Martin a couple of times, and chatted with him on several occasions. He always seemed like a stand up guy to me. He's been in the biz a long time.
Only from reading on here, my understanding is that there were some handling issues with the bottom on the cat, but it sounds like they have been worked out. And since the info was here, you have to take it for what its worth.
One negative that I can think of then, is that there is a perception that there is (or was) the problem. Most people wouldn't know any better, but the ones who read here know. And they might tell two friends.....
The other reason is resale. It is a relatively unknown brand. Since they have no real reputation, they make up for that with a lower price. This is a standard M. O. for new boat builders. Start out with lower prices, build a fan base and raise prices over the years as the market begins to respect the boats the company builds. Others embrace the "value" end of the spectrum, and are happy to occupy that spot.
Resale for the "value" boats is less than that of upper tier builders. This subject has been beat to death around here. So you Cheetah owners can just relax..... :p Trident is the only "new" brand that I can think of that started with a deluxe product. They still have a heck of a hill to cllimb.
I am not knocking Orion at all, just trying to anwser the guy's question. If you like the boat, your wife likes the boat, are happy with the price, and can afford it and the insurance, then why not? :cool:

They aren't going to rip me off.. So everyone else can do their own damn homework. Nowdayz I'm out for numero uno, fock everybody else. God knows they aren't doing shit for me.

I'm not, but I might need one of those crooks to lay up a boat for me in the future.. Or fix a gelcoat problem, or excersize an interior hookup through their mfg. Or get mfg pricing on a trailer, Or by a Merc motor without the ridiculous mark up, and drive, etc.. etc..
That is shit I can do with no problems, becuase I was in the industry and made friends with several people (including crooks) that are in the industry and I choose to keep my mouth shut about what I know. Best hook ups always come from shady people if ya know what I'm saying. I fully plan on excersizing those hook ups in the future. I could give a shit if he screws some guy I dunno, if it means I can get a Bravo 1 for half price.
The old me, would not have stood for that.. The old me hooked a bunch of people up only to find out that those same people would piss and moan about having to pay a shipping charge on a free product, or say shit like "I would've paid somebody else full pop if I would've known it was going to take this long." LOL Those same people can now suck a dick, as I'll hook myself up all day long.

Got a paycheck from my new job that was inexplicably 400 bucks short.. The last one was 200 bucks, to which they promised would be resolved and made up for on this one.. Now I'm 600 out, which isn't that big of a deal, but WTF?
I'll tell you I think I'm going to go back to being a broke millionaire playboy becuase I made more money not working then I do working, and I didn't get screwed by everybody and their brother at every turn.
I think I might be having an anxiety attack.
