Wow - incredible!!
The Glass guru know's about all kinds of glass
Not exactly your own words - but thanks for pulling that up.

ive only ever been on one Profile and it was when i was quite a bit younger. It was owned by boxer Tommy Morrison before he found out about the aids issue. Even after all the abuse I saw that boat take (i worked for the marina that held it), it had a lot of hard years on it and still running good last id seen it. As far as small issues like cabin doors not latching after a year or so, i had those problems with my brand new Cobalt. I think every manufacturer has issues like this, but what it boils down to is how they treat the customer when they bring it in for repairs. When I worked for SeaRay, we RARELY had a boat come in new that didnt require some additional work from bad repairs made at the factory or odd fitting parts. But as a premium dealer, we fixed them and billed the factory (i believe). I think itd be cool to see someone take pictures of why they think this new boat is such a bad idea.. Maybe this guy has some business partners now that have a better reputation and can help keep him more organized and pay better attention to client requests.. As far as him getting on here and callin someone out on how fat they are, speaks volumes for their personality..
id rather spend my (nonexistant) 750k with someone i know is going to be there for me when i do find non-latching cabin doors, etc.

In Toledo, you either are in glass, bolting together Jeeps or digging ditches

Well, I'm impressed!
Physics is actually a hobby of mine as well.
Lately, I've been studying Nano-technology and thin-film coating/application. Very cool stuff. High vacuum evaporation is pretty interesting - and somewhat hard to grasp at times.

I'll get to work. I'll let you know on the next trip home.

Yeah, kind of my point. Not one that is going to argue with me on a forum board. The only answer I want to hear is "call me, we'll get it fixed", or "you're asking for the world here, and I only gave you what you asked for, originally" the current thread on Carrie Covers seems to be a "you asked for the world", I warned you, and you were only willing to pay for a dirt lot.
Just an opinion.

If I'd have known digging ditches was an option, I may have stayed.
Thanks for pointing that out. A new career option

A good friend of mine has a 3? Profile. its a 91 i think. It was built from the factory as a raceboat and was called PlumCrazy and we also think may have also been Printers Devil at one time as well. Now keep in mind i know nothing of these boats out side of this one but i gotta tell ya its a pretty nice piece. There is not a stress crack in it (its original gel) and appears to be a decent build.
The boat needed a new transom do to some aftermarket stuff installed with no sealer buy the previous owner ....after three full day my brother finally got all the old transom wood out holly crap was that layed up tuff..........I have done a few transom jobs on everything from 39 ocean exspress's to sea rays and this one was the hardest to remove .........even if some of the lines are not perfect this thing did not cost an arm and a leg new and was very fast and shows no stress.....for a race boat with many races under her belt that says a lot in my book .....we hope to race this boat again by the end of this year with OPA in class 4 .......(not scared profile owner)
