I read a couple of post that mentioned wavy fiberglass. Would this be considered wavy. The deck looks like there are a couple of waves in it. I'm not saying its a bad thing, just that I see it on A LOT of boats.

I was looking at some brand new cigarettes at a boat show, and saw waves too, its very hard to have 30 feet of absolutely perfect deck. I would never expect that to happen. But the waves on the cigarette were surface variations in the thousandths of an inch. |
I dare you to try to find a wave or a ripple in a skater!:D

Depends. Most jurisdiction take confusion into account and if the business are engaged in the same arena. I'd have to look up the exact laws on this. My car club uses the manufactures name without problems. A member became disgruntled and started another club. They named their club Rebel Region of ------- . The disgruntled group tried to register our clubs name as part of theirs in other words. Both our club and the manufacture are suing them to drop use of our name. Since they are engaged in the same activity we won that portion of the case. The way the law reads the most important key is being engaged in the same business.

The little waves on the deck are understandable and not that bad when you look at the gloss of the paint on that OL. On any Profile I have seen they aren't like that they are more like hills and valleys. Also if you look at most boats all the body,speed lines, strakes, chines, rub rails ect-- ect are straight. It is very hard to find one on any of the Profiles I have delt with, none out of 11 boats.:(

Cosmic and Joe - Thanks, I know I've seen them on plenty of boats, so its hard to gauge between the difference in what is OK and what is not.
But, I was really surprised on some of the VERY high end boats to see sloppy caulk work filling gaps, and unfinished upholstery edges. Maybe my expectations were too high for a boat that I'll never be able to afford. And maybe I should lighten up on myself as I work on my own boat, and things aren't absolutely perfect in my mind. |
Tim, there will always be something we can pick out on any boat. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. On the the other hand there is the little things and then there are the big gapping mistakes and F,ups that have shown up on boats that were sold as high dollar Offshore Performance Boats that were just unexcusable and never addressed. You now the old line. Is that a real _______ or is that a Sears _____

If I'm gonna spend upwards of 1/2 Mil on a boat, I don't expect to see sloppy caulk, and raw edges on the upholstery. Not that I EVER forsee myself spending that kind of coin. My point is more that, I won't even accept that kind of work on my 28 yr old boat as I work on it myself - I don't get how a builder thinks it's that impressive to send a boat to the show with a great concept, and flashy things and details that catch your eye, but pay no attention to the finest details, and the ultimate usabilty, and longevity of the product. |
Look here brother. . . who you jiving with that cosmik debris :D
aint heard that in a while, somehow i figured Jayboat would know it :cool-smiley-027: . . . Apostrophe watch out where the husky's go |

OK, guys I have gotten a bunch of messages asking me what I know about L.G.boats and how they are and so on. So just to set the record straight I know nothing of them and haven't even seen one and don't want to. Anything I said in this thread was about Randy and when he had Profile. That is all that I know and need to know. And I believe that all anyone was trying to do was warn everyone about his history and Profile boats. If in fact he has changed then more power to him but I think that it has been proved otherwise by some of his posts on here and the fact that he never did come back to answer for the facts presented after his attacks on us. So I am done with this and please no more messages I know nothing about L.G. Happy Boating and a good summer to come to all.
