It is a nice looking boat. I like its lines. The dash reminds me of a Campion, which is also manufactured in Canada ( and no it is not a typo it is Campion not champion). Also really cool looking boat IMO, but haven't really heard good or bad on them either. Wonder if there is any connection to "Cutter" and "Campion"

Campion is not the same. Opposite side of Canada.
Grew and cutter were separate one time and one bought the other. I heard the owner was shot dead by police so the business is over.
The people were involved in a poor copy of the Challenger 21, called it Scorpion, then there were more copys etc. So these guys came back the use the name Challenger on some of their more sporty stuff.
I have never seen that 30, but the build I would expect is standard consumer budget level stuff.

My buddy had a '96 26' Cutter scorpion for many years, single w/454 mag EFI, poorly built by anyone's standards, I would NOT own one from what I seen

I thought the place looked a little deserted these days, thought it was the economy.

It is a nice looking boat, with nice lines. May not have been built to the high standards of many of the "BIG" named Boat Manufacturers but a nice boat for someone who couldn't really afford to pay the higher price for a Big named Boat Builder but still a nice looking boat that someone would love to have it. End of the Line.

The factory is now a truck repair shop.... Everything was auctioned off to my understanding. The Police chase went right by my house... lol. It was thunderboat row meets Owen Sound ON. I used to work at the local marina and they would come and test these boats from time to time. Even the smaller runabouts had a less than glowing reputation quatlity wise. As a side note.. Mr. Cameron was at one time a Mercury factory racer.
