I wouldn't buy any dam thing from China, much less a boat.

Actually, there are quite a few boats made in China. Here is just an example: http://www.ocean-asia.com/ Probably the most notable is Grand Banks by American Marine, a quality built trawler from Hong Kong.

However, I'd recommend to never buy a boat from overseas without a dealer network in the good old U.S.A.

They have been making some small Glastron copies for a few years. They were trying to get me to be a dealer for them. NOT gonna happen!

What do you think the guys pushing on the bow were trying to do? Nice find on the video.

Ever see how many people fit on a boat in China? Theyre probably stuffing twice that number in the heartland!
