Question Highest Quality Cat Builder?

WHICH BUILDER MAKES THE HIGHEST QUALITY CATS. REMEMBER THAT DESIGN IS NOT THE ISSUE, BUT RATHER WORKMANSHIP, MATERIALS, ETC.

I KNOW I'LL MISS SOME. TOUGH. MAKE YOUR OWN POLL.

Peter and the crew and Douglas Marine (Skater).
Materials and hull construction are 2nd to none.

Just my opinion

Victory Team in Dubai. Michael Peters' design and America's Cup quality lamination - truely exceptional. If you haven't seen it, then you don't know what you don't know.

SKATER - Top Quality, Pete does stuff how he want's and it works. As far as performance they set the standards. Since the advent of the 24 Skater the changed the world of Cats.
MTI - Very Good stuff, alot of Skater and european influence.
MOTION - Good bottoms, clean up tooling and update the deck pretty good.
SPECTRE - Very Good stuff, TONS of creature comforts for an OFFSHORE boat.
AMERICAN OFFSHORE - OLD DESIGNS, still work but behind the times, some type of scandle going on their now.
AWESOME CAT - Some nice new deck tooling, haven't looked at one up close, old bottom design.
COUGAR - Canada or England? Canada small boats for the lakes. England classic OLD OFFSHORE BOATS.
EXPRESS CAT - Older bottom technology some very fast boats back in the day. Still alot of boats around.
HTM - Lake boats
JAGUAR - The 35 was THE boat back in the day, still old technology, but TIP QUALITY build.
NORTECH - Cool Designs, very modern, very trick, awesome finish, maybe heavy?
DCB - Lake boats, AWESOME finish and rigging, wicked fast small boats.
ELIMINATOR - Nice finish, lots of recent updating, the boats without the Pods are running well offshore.
PLATINUM - TOP QUALIT BUILT BY SKATER only one or two cats built so far.

Thumbs up MTI #1

MTI rules, I like the way it handles through the turns. Piece of cake.
