3. Cigarette
4. MTI
5. Skater
6. Statement
7. Midnight Express
8. Sunsation

Popularity, now that is the key ingredient in this thread.....how can there be a wrong answer, I am A-OK with list of eight, there are some custom builders such as Doug Wright, Phantom, Rage, Progression, ect that build some great boats.....but then when add that word popularity to this equation your list "top 8 Performance Boats is pretty complete.

One more wrinkle to consider, now what if your criteria were changed from today's current boat builders to the Top 8 Offshore Performance Builders of all-tim, then what do with Magnum, Donzi, Mirage, Scarabs and the 38' Bertram Raceboats, ect...this could be a very interesting thread

What is a thread without a picture of the brands that you did not consider in the top of all-time, some reminders of the past

Typical of an OSO "best" list - very East Coast centric.

Lol don't think you can narrow it down to 8 realistically. Gotta throw in DCB, Active Thunder, Power Play, Mystic and Pantera..

Maybe a baja on the stand by list? :party-smiley-004:

Baja would for sure have to be on list for popularity alone..MANY guys started with one...

Any of the above with Chief Power. Right?
(Referencing another thread in which you lend years long insight on, yet •brand new• to OSO)

What's the point of this thread?
There is an ass for every seat (or bolster).

Might as well retitle this thread "My Favorite Boat Brands Are:"
