Good friend of mine is becoming a dealer for them in Nor Cal. From what I saw at the Nor Cal boat show they seemed to be first rate boats. Not to mention the owner of the company Dory is a straight forward, tell it as it is guy. I have not been able to go for a ride in the 23V or 28Cat yet but from what I have heard they are very solid ride. If they have caught your eye, go take a closer look you will not be sorry.

Chub,
I saw them at the Nor Cal boat show. Looked like a nice boat. Don't know much about them. They are new and seem a bit pricey for a new line. If you are looking at a cat, have you looked at the Force 29. I just picked one up myself. Can't wait to take delivery. I did lots of research before purchasing. Let me know if you have any questions. :eek:

Their website needs some work. www.forceoffshore.com
I several pics of their boats if you are interested. They start at $89k, but that is pretty much loaded...Not many other options left.

Just for the record I know Domin8er's 28 foot cat starts at 75K loaded with options and a 496HO. My be just me but it seems like alot of boat for the money? I know the one at the show had a large price tag, but that was with big power and Imco 4x4 drive, plus the stereo and flat screen set-up. Just my two cents but the cabin in that boat can't be beat by any other cat of its size.

Come on now I know every farmers proud of his cow, but Force is a fairly new kid on the block also. Dory, the owner is no new comer to the world of boat building.

Sounds like Boatmaster is not a fan of the Force. Hey, Chubb put a posting up with your questions. Post it under Cats & Tunnles. I bet you will hear the same thing I am saying.
Boatmaster, you don't like the Force? It seems as though Hot Boat and many others have positive things to say about them!:D

Force has been building cats for about 6 years. I am not sure about Domin8er. I thnink it is a new boat all the way around...:D

Dory of Domn8r was the Upland Ca dealer for Cheetah boats in LHC. Dory told me that he was tired of getting screwed working for Cheetah Bob. His words. He said that Dmn8r boats are built top notch unlike Cheetahs. But whats he supposed to say?
The Domn8r boats look nice. You cant beat a 28ft cat for 75K.

For a 28 foot cat, I tyhought it looked a bit under built. The cockpit was bare and the finish work was not to the $75k standards. There are several cats int he $75k range. To name a few, Shockwave, HTM, Force, Eliminator (maybe not), Domin8'r, AO, etc. It depends on what you are looking for in a cat. If you are looking for a cat with lots of space under the deck then maybe the Domi8'r or HTM is for you...
They just did not impress me at all...
Just my $.02:mad:

Hey Little Chubby,
I was looking at the 28 cat plug last February in Havasu, I liked what I saw.
I almost bought one, It looked like and awsome ride they just didn't have one out of the mold yet. I was a little leary of getting the first boat out.
Dory and Garey are stand up guys, they've been involved in the industry for ever. I would imagine the Dominator would be a good valued purchase. But it aint no Force :D j/k
Let us know how it shakes out for you.

Does anyone know if they have a website? Any information about them on the web??

No there is no web site yet. It will be coming soon. As far as the way they are built it is a top notch boat. It is constructed better that a lot of others out there for the same amount of $$$. I have seen them first hand how the are built from the ground up.
