There are only a few of us pimp. I haven't banned you once. I doubt my compadre's have paid much attention to you either. I prefer to let douchebags like you publicly humiliate yourselves in front of a relatively small group of people that know each other. It makes the site money, and reminds everyone that no matter how bad of a day it is, at least you don't have to resign up for an internet forum everyday that collectively laughs at your general existence.

The 34 will never be built again, the molds were crushed. The 40(same hull as the 37 Midnight Express ) can still be built. Molds are around.

why crush the molds????? why not lease out to another bulider????:(

I will guess that the smaller custom builders are going to be hit harder. They may not have the overhead, but the larger companies have better management and resources. I guess by 2010 we will have only 2 -3 real builders left; Skater, Cig and or Outerlimits. Just a SWAG for the asking!

what about mti???

From my understanding the owner was trying to prove a point to the former owner. I think it's debatable who's point he proved.:Whatever:

Yep, still being built. They have expanded their market to Europe to get through the tough times here. :)
