There you have it! We spoke with Larry around 2 years ago. A customer of ours was going to build a 43. Deal never happened though.

I think Nor-Tech, MTI, Skater, and Cigarette will weather the storm just fine

Bud's Place is still selling them at LOTO. Never understood why Broken Arrow let them go. Or was it the other way around?

There was also a boat built by or designed by Seebold that was like a 20 footer or so. I think mid-80's boat.
