Any info on Salt Shaker boats ?

Center console style fishing boats built in Punta Gorda, FL. Supposed to be a good ride in rough water, heard a rumor that they are out of business.

1st post putting the feelers out somthing went down with them don't remember the story??

good boats i believe theyb are based on a blackfin design

Used to be a thread about them OSO's old owners dad had paid them for a boat and never delivered......I think he got most of the money back

Stay away, search for the thread from Steve the previous owner of OSO it wasn't good.

Thread was removed as part of the settlement.

Short story:
Steve's dad had put a 100k deposit on a boat with this scumbag.
His dad passes shortly thereafter.
Scumbag won't return the deposit.

Steve starts a thread asking for help on the west side.

I was living in Punta Gorda at the time and had a camera and time on my hands.

The story had a happy ending for Steve.

The Salt Shaker guys used to build Towers and other structures before going into the boat building business. I know they had the 29 strike molds for a while and built one 40' SF. I was never a fan of the forward deck design of one of their boats... high brow with an obnoxious raised deck. Very unattractive.
