Not really. Yes, he paid Teague around 200k for new dry sump SSM VI's and new Supercharged Teague motors. However, he got a full refund on the 525's and ITS's. That's a large chunk of coin.

Now look at it this way. He didn't pay anymore than he wouldn've if it were rigged this way to begin with. And as pointed out several times (also mentioned in the article) Eric still got a custom built, show stopping, VERY FAST boat for under the price of other high end custom boats. The only thing that sucked about the whole proccess was the frustration and delay Eric had while the boat was getting re-rigged.

But in the end. The customer was very happy. And you wont hear him say anything negative about Team Dragon.

I read the article and it was written in a way that slammed Dragon and made Teage Custom Marine look like a savior to someone who thought they wasted their money. Dragon got bad press.

Tank.......my tongue is bleeding. Ouch....stop posting Tank!!!!

...In the end there was nothing "wrong" with the boat, it just needed some dialing in and soon would have been an awesome ride with the 525/ITS package.
Yes i was very interested in a Dragon myself and therefore did a lot of research in talking with both Craig and Eric. It was stated by Eric that it wasn't the boat and Craig is an awesome person to deal with !

At any rate the finest product remains to be one of the nicest & fastest pleasure V-hulls out ! - Agreed ?

P.S- Prouty needs to jump on one !

Dave - You mean get a ride on one? There is another Dragon listed for sale....Dave, you bought to soon....

Dragon could not have gotten a nicer customer.
Eric took care of the problems and now has a great boat. I was in it many time while at Teagues and the boat is sweet.

Why are you biting your tongue Chris? If you have something to say about it, say it. All I'm saying is the facts. Powerboat didn't want to focus on blame. Just wanted to focus on the repower and how nice it came out. End of story. If they focused on fault for the original problem it would've looked bad for all involved. They felt it wasn't their place. It's easy to point fingers. It just wasn't appropriate.

Now, what's this I hear you bought something Dave!? What'cha get? It's about time!

I like Dragon #2 anyone know the owner?

Custom...I thought you were a CAT guy now?

yep....

Tank- Once you go cat you never go back !!!
