Nate,

I was really just being sarcastic, with the "You're allowed to be wrong" sentiment. I think most of us here on OSO would agree that we don't really like the direction that new boat sales have been going, but I've always carried the philosophy that the first rule in boating is "Have a boat". I'm not knocking anybody for a boat I don't have to own.

Thanks. Brad.

I think pricing pretty good considering the size of the boat. I like the Axopar boats because they are a great adventure boat with the speeds they get on twin engines, trailerable models, and cabin good enough for overnighting. Wish they would of come out with a trailerable version of their new line.

They did a great job with the transom and swim platform design. If you get a chance play on the website and you'll see the transom/swim platform design has 4 different settings that really open up the back of the boat more. This is a trend setter for sure and the total ridiculousness of having a transom so full of outboards you can't even get in the water will be a thing of the past, which I think will also render other models obsolete very quickly.

statement is stacked with 36 outboard cats in production and is coming out with a new 39ft outboard cat model, far from abandoned performance boats

God you are serious, and I thought you had style with one of the nicest looking Classics out there. 🙀

I know everyone has their own style but that plumb bow is just God awful in form and function as far as I am concerned , and I own a Fugly boat.
Just don’t run the Cig into the Grand Haven lighthouse this summer to convert it into the Euro look.

Wow - I certainly wish them well but aesthetics have fallen off horribly since the 70’s
