What ever happened to Platinum Boats?
What a shame - The folks built such an awesome cat (Miss Gieco) and they are all split up and moved out. Does anyone know what happened to them?
Note * just the hull - Turbine Marine did EVERYTHING ELSE

Update
Spoke to Vernon Gilbert (sound like the money or new owner) last week. He is going to get the molds out of Vermilion and haul them to CAL - but - they will outsource the building of the boats and do the rigging in-house. I worked for Turbine Marine in March for a week and a half. That boat is one of the last. Problem is the cost of building the hull and the real collapse was the two partners split Trost and Dyke. I would guess it was quality (German) against cost...By the way, working for TB marine was HELL

The Princess/Miss G is owned and campaigned by AMF/Turbine Marine. They bought the BEAR HULL and rigged it with 2 Turbines. Carmen and Scott due some great work as I worked with them for 10 days in March 07!!
