Has anyone had any experience with Progression boats? Any info would be appreciated

HEY CHUMMY......PROGRESSION POWERBOATS are the best kept secret in NEW YORK!!!! It's a helluva well made boat without all the junk on the bottom that most "OTHER" manufacturers need to keep up!!!I am a BIG VELOCITY fan, but PROGRESSION would be my 2nd pick!!! They handle the rough stuff (and I mean REAL rough stuff, not what those boys in california call rough) VERY nicely....They are very nice looking doing it too!!! Sorry, there is no California option: neon,blo-drier,nail salon station,ankle bracelet,blonde highlighter,motor box vibratron,cute towels etc...GREAT CHOICE!!!!!

So, does the neon,blo-drier,nail salon station,ankle bracelet,blonde highlighter,motor box vibratron,cute towels etc come as an option if you want to buy one on the west coast
If not, then they're missing the boat (so to speak)

HEY LAKEMEAD >>>> Just making sure you guys were paying attention ...HA HA HA !!!!!! Clever... but obvious "boat" joke... PROGRESSION stays pretty close to home, besides, it's a little too much boat for you guys to handle..................

NHBUOY, thanks for the responce, Velocity's are great boats also that don't have a lot of that extra crap to slow you down eek!

HEY CHUMMY........Which PROGRESSION are you looking at size and power wise, new or used etc ??????

[nhbuoy]

HEY LAKEMEAD....... Saw your post at OFO !!!! Good boy...we need more offshore guys!!!!! Cal has some nice stuff too......MAGIC has a 29' that is doing well in the battle in factory class...HOWARD makes a great boat....SHOCKWAVE seems to have a good rep...FOUNTAIN's are "nationwide"...CIG's are nice but you pay dearly $$$$$!!!!! Open or closed bow doesn't really matter, If you get the open bow spring for a snap-in bow cover to keep your feet dry when it whips up.........PICK WISELY GRASSHOPPER......

I've been to their shop for an open house and I was impressed with their building methods, ie; lamination schedules, coring, vacuum bagging, etc. This is not a bunch of cubans blowing chopper guns into a mold. These boats are strong and light. Traditional southeast styling with west coast custom build quality.

Hey NHBuouy - too much boat for us huh
Yeah, my post over there was just to pry for info. When I upsize, I'm looking like 29 ft. or so - I'm just looking for opinions. Being a lake rat, I don't know all too much about the offshore saltwater world and I'm eager to learn.
From what I'm told, the Lavey makes a great 29 boat, I just may look into that too.
Thanks for the info!

nhbuoy, I came across a 1988 24' in Maryland, that turns out to be the boat from the 1988 New York boat show and was owned by Kevin (the owner of Progression) until 2000. It has a 500hp 468 in it with dry exhaust. Only the second owner.
