The team at Waves and Wheels at Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks is eager to get started on customizing its first Doug Wright 36 Carbon catamaran.

The outboards are just boring how about some fresh inboard power like mercs v12 powerhhead with a good supercharger running thru surface drives?

Sounds like a reasonable product to engineer and sell with lots of market demand. 🙄

^^^Party pooper.

How do clients “think they have a doug Wright on order”? Did people place orders and deposits with other dealers that are now void?

My guess, (THIS IS PURE SPECULATION) is the people may have placed an order through a dealer, that may not have placed it with Doug Wright or had actual allocation through DW. Possibly a boat that may have been based off from a DW hull???

Yes, there is alot of "may haves" in my statement. Only the people that may have (There it is again) placed an order through someone or someplace would know what boat they think they have on order. The ones taking the alleged deposit would know what boat they are selling them...

Didn't Performance Marine sell Doug Wrights? Now they are building their own? So now those are not Doug Wrights?

Who knows, not trying to criticize but the quotes in the article brought more questions than answers.

they are still doug wright boats and tagged and titled as such. think of the waves and wheels edition as a pkg, no diff than buying a badlander edition bronco, or back when Bill pyburn did the Platinum edition skaters, or a Larry Smith Scarab, just some custom features from an outside vendor.

From my understanding, PBC is not purchasing the hulls from DW (since the new owners took over DW) they are now producing their own hulls and rigging it in house.

Waves and Wheels bought the hull and are adding their own spin on to the rigging, paint etc. But the hull itself is ALL DW!
