If the hull isn't pig heavy, this would make a hell of a nice package for the $ if paired with some blown LS small blocks and a set of Arnesons!

I love the look and the interior looks very sharp as well. With all that said, after hearing how they fu@ked Chuck so badly, I don't know many people that would place an order!

All this talk about splashing hulls has me thinking of how many other companies have splashed hulls for many years and then just improved on them by making the modifications the original companies didn't take the time to do which led to faster stronger hulls or made better interiors etc. some that come to mind is the challenger/shadow/Superboat 21'. How about the 27 activator which I believe was a executioner and how mark just improved from there and now that mold is in Sweden being taken even further and possibly improved upon. I feel if the original companies are not in business anymore or still are and don't see a issue with it infringing upon them legally then more power to them.

Someone with way too much time and a little graphics skill could make the most amazing flow chart of all time with this...starting with the Ark of course.

Could someone please post a link to the "Chuck F@ckin" thread so that those of us not in the in crowd could study up. Seriously. Thanks!

You must be hearing this story from Nordic as the truth is a far different one

Laurent purchased a new 32 and promptly splashed it

Nordic also took the 32 that Sanger splashed and made their 34 from it.

I am interested to hear what you can offer the boating world, especially in comparison to what is out there today; and at what price point. Please feel free to expand.

Does anyone know who bought the 32 target with the 525's that was in the classifieds a while ago? It had a blue wrap on it if I remember correctly. Maybe they could chime in on the performance of the boats?
