Curious myself

When Skater starts making pontoon boats, I promise I'll hate it just as much 😉

cigarette has been building center consoles since the 90’s. Skip actually saw the market changing in 07 and started building them again. One of the first to do so. Now it’s their bread and butter. You have to follow the demand or die.

I’m no CC guy and wish they would focus on traditional offshore boats. However, a custom builder builds what the customer wants.

Yup. Sunsation would no longer exist without going CC.

Not to bring Fountain into it but they always did CC's. I remember I very old interview, maybe from the late nineties or early 2000's were Reggie said for a long time the CC market floated the rest of the company.

Course his were more fishing then the bling they all do now.

I think it's likely that Nortech would be long gone as well.

Skater DID build a deck boat. So, there is that caveat. :cool:

terry Sobo to the rescue!

I know guys and Mystic would be gone too if they hadn't made the switch along with the others. I understand why but it doesn't mean I gotta like it. I do applaud Skater and Outerlimits for making it without having to change.
