Highest quality boat build
Lets have a conversation about quality of craftsmanship. In your opinion, who makes the highest quality build? Is it Cigarette, with their classic lines? Outerlimits with their cutting edge hidden rigging? Nor-Tech? Who?

AJ, love that Powerplay rigging!
Kevin at Progression does some nice rigging, and as a bonus, he numbers them.
Example of phone conversation:
Me: What does #43 do?
Kevin: Who is this?
Me: Ray with Joe’s old 24
Kevin: It controls (X)
Me: How do you know that?
Kevin: Because I built the boat.
Me: Yeah, like 3 decades ago.
Kevin: Aaaand? What’s your point? Call me back if I’m wrong. Talk to you next time .
I also like that EVERYTHING is through-bolted. Until I decide to take something apart. Then, notsomuch, because I usually need an extra set of hands.

Wiring is often a sore point in boats. Boat wiring in Thailand is usually copied from the domestic 220volt plan so you can see why I choose to import my boats from the U.S.

My 87 Top gun has great rigging especially for a 31 year old boat, nice and neat, everything works with no issues, the stringer system is built good and sealed properly resulting in a 31 year old boast with no rot, as far as brand new boats go, I am not sure whos the best but my buddy just built a new 52 Outerlimits and it looks perfect... all the Cigarettes look perfect aldso that I have seen. the worst wired boats I seen has been Baja, Formula and Scarab, huge mess...
