They've got several ideas for new boats they are working on!

Buying a new boat at a boat show should be one of your more happier experiences in life. Sounds like they ruined it for you. As stated earlier, you never should have payed for the boat untill completion. Good luck, hopefully they will correct everthing for you. Nobody deserves treatment like this.

Im going to need some help picking out a BT 43 or 46 EC. Need extra room for more friends to chip in on gas with 5 bucks PG coming. 1500 for fill up. Doesnt need history. Like a fire, hioles, glass problems, sank, wrecked. Would like to buy one clean and original condition now. You guy are scaring the crap out of me. You fellows know something about every boat out there. That a go thing.
Thank You

Have no fear, there are a few very nice looking boats out there (at least were), without ridiculous hours or horror stories. I've asked about 2 different BT's on here, one people were familiar with, the other not. From what I could tell, BOTH of them would have made me a really happy boater.

They only build 12 a year. They are factory direct - no dealers except for mfg. representatives across the country. They are from a small town 2 hours north of St. Louis - so it is a very family orientated facility and not a mass production pick a number type facility. So we do know a lot about the boats. Out of all the Black Thunders, I like the orange one pictured in Powerboat mag. in 2006 the best (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

Speaking of BT's, anyone ever seen the one named "Casino Runner"?

Jaw dropping paint job, I was Appraising a condo about 4 years ago @ Tomes Landing. I had to stop and stare, even take a picture of it on the lift. Who's ever that is, they have a nice ride......
