Have you ever looked at someones or a friends new boat and just wanted to ask WTF, but out of respect just kept your opinions with yourself? Yesterday BigDoug and his wife came by to take a look at our Mule and Rhino, they are in the market for one themselves. My daughter and her friend are driving the mule around after Doug leaves and she comes back and says "dad there is a really cool cat around the corner".
So I took the Mule and go to check it out. I've seen this cat before on the water and in his garage, but never met him. Since it was on the street I decided to say hi. So I start looking at the boat which he got in Feb this year.
I know that I know he paid over 100K for this boat and the whole time I wanted to ask him WTF were you smoking when you accepted this?
Keeping it short: just my thoughts
First of all it does have really nice base colors throughout the gel, but that's about it. The attempt at fades look like something our kids would do with a pack of crayola's. It has a white rub rail, why wouldn't you paint for a few hundred more or atleast go stainless? I know, minor in some eyes, but with a nice graphic, why wouldn't you? The white makes it look cheap. Back on the gel, not exactly the smoothest,a ton of orange peel.
I asked to look at the interior layout, and jumped on the ladder and in to the boat. Wholly crap, it looked like it might have been done at a sweat shop in downtown LA. The stitching was crooked and the feel of the marine vinyl was very cheesy. The carpet wasn't much better. Even sitting on the rear seat the padding was not very comfortable. I really expected it to be alot cleaner for a custom.
I really had to zip it, I wanted to play 20 questions about this and that, but didn't really know him well enough.
For a boat that is 6 or 7 months old it showed like crap. I don't believe it is the owners doing He garages it and had just cleaned it after being on the lake. I could probably find things on my Nordic too, I guess the point here is, as long as he is happy with it that's all that matters, I was just really let down at the quality.

I always ask "Did you catch the guy that painted your boat?" Most of the time they don't get it.
Start some real drama and tell us who the manufacturer is. :crossx:

I happen to be a big fan of your 270. It's by far one of the cleanest I've seen, of course the fact that you constantly clean it helps :)

You know Chris, I really wanted to, but I've also been on or around a couple of board members boats of this brand. I wasn't bashing the brand, just the quality it showed. I was really dissapointed in it.

Im so new into the ***boat world that I really have not had much of a chance to check out other peoples boats close up. The ones I have seen are all unbelievable. This weekend, I looked at a few DCBs close up, and Matt's Cobra cat. Both awesome. Im kind of jaded, because all I have seen is high dollar boats close up.
What I have done is check out a lot of websites, mags, and gone to dealers to look at boats. What suprises me is how out of date many of the gelcoats look. I hear all kinds of good stuff about a company, I check out their boats; and the gels are so bad and out of date looking, or just plain un-cool.
On the other hand, what may look good to somone, may look totally horrible to somone else.

True dat...Brian can kick a mean junk. But, I usually have a piece billet billet handy that will keep him distracted for hours. And if that fails...usually a "Look...spread bore carbs that need rebuilding over there" is pretty effective as well. :D

Hey, I have purple on my boat...and I still love it (did I mention I also have checkers?)
Of course everyone will have opinions on colors and designs. But poor craftsmanship on the build is a whole 'nother problem.

Have you ever looked at someones or a friends new boat and just wanted to ask WTF, but out of respect just kept your opinions with yourself? Yesterday BigDoug and his wife came by to take a look at our Mule and Rhino, they are in the market for one themselves. My daughter and her friend are driving the mule around after Doug leaves and she comes back and says "dad there is a really cool cat around the corner".
So I took the Mule and go to check it out. I've seen this cat before on the water and in his garage, but never met him. Since it was on the street I decided to say hi. So I start looking at the boat which he got in Feb this year.
I know that I know he paid over 100K for this boat and the whole time I wanted to ask him WTF were you smoking when you accepted this?
Keeping it short: just my thoughts
First of all it does have really nice base colors throughout the gel, but that's about it. The attempt at fades look like something our kids would do with a pack of crayola's. It has a white rub rail, why wouldn't you paint for a few hundred more or atleast go stainless? I know, minor in some eyes, but with a nice graphic, why wouldn't you? The white makes it look cheap. Back on the gel, not exactly the smoothest,a ton of orange peel.
I asked to look at the interior layout, and jumped on the ladder and in to the boat. Wholly crap, it looked like it might have been done at a sweat shop in downtown LA. The stitching was crooked and the feel of the marine vinyl was very cheesy. The carpet wasn't much better. Even sitting on the rear seat the padding was not very comfortable. I really expected it to be alot cleaner for a custom.
I really had to zip it, I wanted to play 20 questions about this and that, but didn't really know him well enough.
For a boat that is 6 or 7 months old it showed like crap. I don't believe it is the owners doing He garages it and had just cleaned it after being on the lake. I could probably find things on my Nordic too, I guess the point here is, as long as he is happy with it that's all that matters, I was just really let down at the quality.

What kind of rubrail does your Nordic have? I've only ever seen them with that rather large rubber inserted rub rail in either white or black?

that is irrelevant Dave since he was talking about 100K+ custom boats and we all know the Nordic is not a custom boat, nor is it north of 100K. :wink:

The 21' is 60 something, so is the 22.6.. I couldn't imagine there 28 being under 100K anymore?
My point was capping on the rub rail (pun intended) when you have a white plastic one on your boat just kinda struck me funny.. LOL

The point was about the custom gel and graphic follow thru likes Cudmores as an example. It's looks wrong having a white rail instead of painted or stainless on such a multi colored gel.
And the white rail on my Nordic is just fine based on the graphic lay out.

Well just to make you feel better I can probably narrow it done via hte process of elimination..
It obviously wasn't commander becuase their situation is exactly the opposite of what was described. Almost everything they put out sucks on some level or another, so when they finally do put something together nice it's the nice one that sticks out not the other way around.. The same could also be said for Scoopy's infamous waterrods, aftershock, and a few others in the same grouping of "I got the same thing you got but paid 60K less" mentallity..
It certainly could've been a DCB, Eliminator, Howard or LaveyCraft becuase they always put out top notch shit so if something wasn't quite up to snuff it'd stick out like a sore thumb.. This group could also include all the quality builders of Cats that fall into the snobby category of "Yeah I paid 60K too much for my shiznit, but it's the bomb diggity and you know this man..... Now move along poor boy becuase we don't let them poor boy boats on our beach. Besides we be having a mini regatta everydamn weekend and your shniznit is not only not fittin in where you get in, but ruining our rep yo.."

Can't leave out the boyz like, Shockwave, HTM, American Offshore, Ultra and many others that fall into the midrange I paid slightly too much for my shiznit group.
They fall into the ole "Hey I know it's not a _________ fill in snobby boat owner company here but atleast it's not a _________ fill in cut every corner in the book boat company here.. We're out here to have some fun, and atleast we look like we know what we're doin, and what we don't have in bling we're making up for in Tribal Graphics.

We all have our pet peeves, and if you want to look at a boat hard enough, I believe you will find something....there are made by hand and by humans for god sakes.
I bet if you scrutinize a DCB hard enough, you will find at least 1 zip-tie that was not clocked properly to the other 17,875,423 zip-ties in the boat! :)

The Cobra owners must have known it was them from the start because I don't see one post from a Cobra owner anywhere in this thread.
Now that the name has been said, aren't we all supposed to jump on them and bash the company? This thread is slow to develop.

Hey i own a cobra and here i am. It must have been the owners fault that the boat looked like shiit. not cobra. i am in there often and have seen no mistakes. Many people can not afford to have standard stuff so they move down. unlike u rich basturds.

I have seen a few Cobras up close and I really liked them. I would consider the 26 as my next boat.

You can move down? So you can tell Hernando that you can't afford the standard and ask for a 4cylinder engine? Really? Can I ask for hard plastic seats too?
Was it your boat? As long as you feel like you paid a fair price then so be it.

Have you ever looked at someones or a friends new boat and just wanted to ask WTF, but out of respect just kept your opinions with yourself? Yesterday BigDoug and his wife came by to take a look at our Mule and Rhino, they are in the market for one themselves. My daughter and her friend are driving the mule around after Doug leaves and she comes back and says "dad there is a really cool cat around the corner".
So I took the Mule and go to check it out. I've seen this cat before on the water and in his garage, but never met him. Since it was on the street I decided to say hi. So I start looking at the boat which he got in Feb this year.
I know that I know he paid over 100K for this boat and the whole time I wanted to ask him WTF were you smoking when you accepted this?
Keeping it short: just my thoughts
First of all it does have really nice base colors throughout the gel, but that's about it. The attempt at fades look like something our kids would do with a pack of crayola's. It has a white rub rail, why wouldn't you paint for a few hundred more or atleast go stainless? I know, minor in some eyes, but with a nice graphic, why wouldn't you? The white makes it look cheap. Back on the gel, not exactly the smoothest,a ton of orange peel.
I asked to look at the interior layout, and jumped on the ladder and in to the boat. Wholly crap, it looked like it might have been done at a sweat shop in downtown LA. The stitching was crooked and the feel of the marine vinyl was very cheesy. The carpet wasn't much better. Even sitting on the rear seat the padding was not very comfortable. I really expected it to be alot cleaner for a custom.
I really had to zip it, I wanted to play 20 questions about this and that, but didn't really know him well enough.
For a boat that is 6 or 7 months old it showed like crap. I don't believe it is the owners doing He garages it and had just cleaned it after being on the lake. I could probably find things on my Nordic too, I guess the point here is, as long as he is happy with it that's all that matters, I was just really let down at the quality.
Classless post IMO. You can always pick apart things on boat, cars houses, but it sure points a finger at how much character you lack. Does the guys like his boat... that's all that matters... enough said!

I disagree with you. You can always pick things apart, but the industry doesn't seem to want to raise quality to match the raised prices. I think that if you sell a boat for over $100K, it should have a serious level of refinement, and the buyers should demand it.
I think that critique of the industry is greatly lacking. There is a lot of "if he likes it, what do you care" going on. Nobody seems to have any problem bagging on the new Expedition if they don't like it, or the Escalade is "A Tahoe with a wood dash". The difference is that on a custom boat, you are attacking a persons sense of taste (or lack of it) a lot more personally since they have such a large say in the outcome.
I think we all need to grow some skin and start demanding more refinement in the upper end of the industry. Raise the level of style, raise the level of rigging. The buyers need to start getting what they pay for.
