I think the correct question would be the one above to determine the custom options installed.
All boats are pretty much production boats with lots of options IMO
If you fabricate custom parts throughout and install them as a standard option, its still custom made for that boat.
My boat has a custom spot on it to hold chicks tits when they want to rest them, while they get me a beer.
1. My own gel coat design (Lasted about (1) boat before it was being duplicated on other boats, only change the colors):mad:
2. My Motor built peice by peice
3. Other than that everything was an option of standard stuff.
4. I do have custom rigging on my boat, not one like it that I know.
5. I went with custom guages and parts bought from Eddie Marine. LOL

No, no, no. Those don't count! You ordered them from Dana and he has mass produced a bunch of them... :D :D
It turns out, it is only custom if you have someone whittle them up for you out of beechwood.

Old rigger go start your own thread.
I really wanted to know what types of custom options are available out there and what peeps are doing custom.
Old Rig,
You have too strong of an opinion on this subject, seems like you know something we don't?? Come clean whats your hidden agenda:rolleyes:
If you don't like Froggy just say it, or do you want me to have HOSS say it for you.:p
Give us some help here if you have the answers, otherwise your just responding to post like Phat Kat trying to be a know it all!

I sure would like to see a trash receptacle built into my next boat if it could be incorporated. I hate trash bags sitting out on a beautifull boat. :mad:

I bought a Edge hull and interior from Tom Papp......an engine from Marine Power....Pump from American Turbine ...Guages,steering and deck hardware from Rex ...a supercharger from The Blower Shop.... Carpet from a local mill and had a welding shop build a trailer .....So by definition I guess the only custom piece on my boat is the bitchen puke tank (built I may add by a Hot Boat member)....But I am gonna call it custom all the same !.......:D

I see, it's OK for Froggy to take a jab with his 'custom' comment, but it's 'to strong' when I make a jab? Screw you.
I have no hidden adgenda with anything.
I've never met froggy and when I do, he has invited me out to his shop to take a look see, I'll probably like him. Seems like a great guy. He's doing something he's put his mind to and my hats off to him. I just don't agree with him on a few things. Big deal.

Come on Rigger,
your 1st post was a sarcastic remark to your on going battle or dis agreement with Froggy. I don't have a problem with that, but it sounds like you may know what your talking about due to your many years in the business.
I'm not playing favorites here but Froggy responded to another members comment, you had to go back to the Froggy slam card.
:rolleyes:
I also see that Froggy has read the topic and actually responded with his custom options.
I want a custom billet trash can, this is giving me idea's.
I will start a thread just for you old rigger:D

Dammit, Wes! I will have you know that I ordered them from REXONE!!
But I added some where they weren't before. I had to drill two big holes!
Are you saying that taking out the cheap plastic cupholders and putting in storebought anodized ones is not a custom upgrade? Ya mean I have to make my own cupholders!!!??? :rolleyes: :D
I can whittle.....a little......:cool:
