Anyone have first hand experience with these relative to other big CCs? Pluses and minuses?

Fit and finish isn’t that great judging by the one at my marina. But the owner said it was a LOT cheaper than a nor tech, enough that you could redo what you didn’t like and still be far ahead.

Yeah I’ve gotten on one but can’t recall seeing anything out of place. Any examples of what you’re referring to?

The price is right. I’ve been on a 390 NT and was very impressed, the 450 is just too much.

I've been on their 38 and didn't see anything wrong with the fit and finish. Not sure why the 43 would be any different. I think the 38 is the best looking in their lineup. The lines look just right with that long nose. An all pearl white one pulled into Redhead last spring and it was a stunner.

rub rail wasn’t straight, caulking around it was a mess, combing pads didn’t line up well, pretty much anything that had silicone to seal it looked like it had been slapped on by a high school kid. Nothing that was difficult to fix, or caused issues for them to use the boat. Mercury was to blame for that lol. Lost a starter the first day it was delivered, second or third time out blew a lower and that was it for the season. Never got a lower for it. Boat sat the rest of the year.

Im assuming one of the outside motors lost its lower from surfacing?

I don’t know if it was for sure from surfacing, but iirc it was an outside motor. Couldn’t have had 15 hours on it
