Which SoCal HB Builder sells the most boats

[funkcity]

Just wondered who is the largest SoCal ***boat builder?
(Including Nevada and Arizona of course!)
Who moves the largest quantity?

[sandblasted]

Wild guess...Eliminator..They are pushing them out pretty fast...

ADvantage or Eliminator would be my guess.

I would have to say Eliminator...that's why their quality has gone down over the years :D jk you Eliminator lovers

Eliminator is probably the largest in So. Cal area. Their quality has gone down hill, they are more of a production boat than a custom hand crafted quality boat builder.

Hmmm,let me see here.Before I ordered my last boat I either talked to or visited every CUSTOM house on the west coast.Ended up with an Eliminator (3rd one).I chose graphic design,colors,interior layout,motor pkg,raised x-dimension,light weight lay up,gauges,seat placement(shall I continue?)etc.Please define custom?.

When we were shopping in 99, Eliminator was doing over 300 boats a year. Didn't go with them, but found their production processes to be on par with most of the other so cal custom builders. We were treated very well there, even though we were shopping in the 21' range. They even called back when they got a clean used boat in. I would buy one.

Eliminator and Advantage have pretty big operations.
The last time I talked to Advantage they were pushing out close to 300 boats.

Powerboat mag did a thing on 2003 releases and wrote a brief overview of each of those builders. I think teh number for Eliminator was around 350 to 400 boats a year with an average price of 80K! Do the math, that is a 28 to 32 million dollar a year animal! Advantage was over 200 boats a year, Ultra was 250 hulls a year, etc.
