It looks like a very nice boat, but if it wasn't built for someone, who walks into the Miami show and says yes I'll buy that one off boat or do you buy a proven cat like Skater, Mystic, DW, DCB. If you're spending that kind of money, I don't know if I could buy the first one built.

I'd buy the first boat if I had the loose cash, doubt Iconic would sink the cash into something that doesn't work.
Love the cockpit but I might have to change the graphics, not my personal favorite.

I don't know who the designer was, but it was developed by Wilson Composites and they have some serious cred.

If I had to guess, I’d say approximately .001% of buyers today base their decision off of who has won on a racecourse...

The buyer maybe doesn’t consciously make that connection, they just think “hey everyone sure thinks these Doug Wright’s are great, I’ll take a look”. But that’s how DW got their reputation.
