News from Screaming Eagle Boats, Bellefontaine Ohio

Several changes have been taken place at SEB the past year, and there are many future plans and changes in the works for the upcoming years.

2017 has been a very popular year for acquiring high performance boat molds and updating older molds to a more modern look.
To cut to the chase… in 2019, Screaming Eagle Boats will no longer be building the Talon 22 SS or Talon 22 XL models. SEB will be filling all the current boat orders and filling any open slots left for 2018. After 2018, SEB will seize the production of the two Talon 22 models and more than likely be placing the molds, and the right to use the Talon 22 name, for sale. Why you ask? SEB currently has the Revolution Formula 1 and 2 tunnel boat racing molds, two of the Talon 22 models, the Edge 22 project, another 22 cat project, the American Offshore 2600 molds, the 30’ Spectre molds and the 36’ Spectre molds, Todd Lamb of SEB decided he wanted to cut down to just one model of each size, a 22’, 26’, 30’ and the 36’. Todd explained, “With all the new tooling we are doing with these molds to modernize them, our crew is being stretched to the limit. There are 10 of us in here, doing the work of 20. I want my main focus to be having the best looking and performing 22’, 26’, 30’ and 36’ out there, so this is going to involve a lot of my time in re-tooling area and I want to focus on these four molds.”

We are very proud to be able to offer such a variety of high performance boats to the boat enthusiast. SEB would like to thank all their supporters. Anyone interested in the Talon molds or the Formula 1 molds, please contact Todd at 937-292-7674. Serious inquires only. Thank you

Bummer! But one can understand that quality takes priority over quantity. Was there a 22 built with a 400r on the back? Hopefully these molds will be purchased by another motivated and professional company.

There are currently 4 out there running with 400R's on them. The 400R is the best way to go in my opinion. It is so user friendly and has about 6+ mph more over the 300XS. We are finishing up one right now and I believe there are around another 4-5 on order with 400R's. They were a great stepping stone for us. It is time to move on and let them give another builder a good start into this size cat. Thanks

This to me is a good split in sizes,

22’, 26’, 30’ and 36’ out there, so this is going to involve a lot of my time in re-tooling area and I want to focus on these four molds.”

Todd does excellent work, I contracted him and his crew to build my RPM 18 out of my tooling and cant say enough good things about him and his crew. The performance boat market is tough and I can understand the need to focus on fewer models.
