I'm looking at possibly getting into a joint venture buying a mold and want the back half the boat to be done extremely proessional. I'm looking at a trip diesel application and surface drives. Something like WickedOne engine comartment s what I'm after, that to me is one of my favorites. Thanks Jeff

Some of the nicest, most anally retentive rigging I have seen comes out of Double R performance's shop up here in Ontario. Long winters leave the boys lots of time to spend on the details.

Chris does some awsome work, he did a sweet job on NOREASTER the 36 Skater Tommy takes care of from Michigan. Bobby Shamblte ( miss spelled I am sure) that used to rig for APACHE, and Pompi do great work. TNT has taken care of my 41 for years and they do awsome work.

I agree with everyone mentioned above, and would like to add the boys at Cigarette. The dean of the list, Bobby Moore, gave birth to the science of 'fancy damn riggin'', along with Jack Stuteville.

I think a few of the west coast builders do impeccable work like DCB or Eliminator to name a few. Very pretty to look at.

I have to agree, I've seen several of their boats and they look just awesome, both inside and out. Even though its been mild up here this winter, I'm sure nothing's been spared!

...And Bobby's still at it on a limited basis in the backwoods of eastern NC. Not to take anything away from the other names on the list, but don't confuse fancy paint 'n' stuff with real rigging. ('Course Brownie's done some pretty neat stuff in his day, too...)

That gives me a great deal of comfort because Jim Dyke and Mike are in the process of rigging my Fountain with Ilmor power. To our knowledge, running Ilmors in a Fountain something that has never been done before, and Jim and Mike have gone out of their way to be thorough and insure that the project will be a success.

I am very happy that these are the guys rigging my boat.
