I've been away for a while and I guess quality has suffered. I'll make it right!

Helps to go through a dealer that actually see's the boats progress throughout the build, or has the wear and tear issues resolved after taking a used boat on trade. This should happen loooong before the customer see's the boat much less owns it.

My 92 Gun came looking and running like absolute chit from the dealer when I had it, however my 02 looked and ran boat show perfect when delivered. Both boats were bought used, and within 1-2 years of being new, and from different dealers.

Mine is a 2002 and I have been very impressed with Cig's fit & finish.
Mine was built in the old factory, you would think the new factory would be more likely to turn out better product than the old place.

We raced a extended cover girl 02 w/ 575's and the pillows didn't hardly move. Those boats are a piece of work!
