New company! Price Point Boat

[harddock]

How much?

[SquamInboards]

This is the guy who rebuilt the all-black 2001... and I think the hull on that new boat is a 2001 hull, gunwale down.

I like the drivers seat. Would be much quicker to dry out. Also like the back seat. My 99 Snob has the flip over cushion in the center so everybody does not step on your upolstry getting in and out.

Not much to look at, but I would have to ski it to make a final determination. I am not a big fan of bells and whistles on a boat, but to each his own.

is it legal to do that hull chopping? i know the first MC was a nautique hull w/ a new deck. if that's the case my buddy owns a fiberglass shop and i could have a new inside put on an old 2001 hull and make some wrap seating

I'm sure you could do whatever 1-off custom thing you want, but to reproduce in quantity and sell it you would need permission, which I believe this company has.

There is a rule about not fitting in anothers mold exactly but it will take one of the experts here to chime in. It was a big deal in South Florida in the Don Aronow days. There was a reason they were all called Cigarette boats. Same with M/C, Supreme, Centurion, Bredella, Tige

The owner of Standard worked for Correct Craft for years and I've heard he is considered to be a very innovative and intelligent guy. It'll be interesting to see where he goes with this. I wish him well. It's got some interesting features.

Re: RE: New Company

It looks to me like they couldn't decide on the tower....maybe it is on backwards LOL.

I'm rather sure it's on backwards, myself. Yellow_Flash_Colorz: Ugly boat.

Your black 2001 is the nicest rebuild I've seen. Nothing like this new offering at all.

[rosconole]

i can see some similarities... good bang for the buck. i saw a 7.4 merc system like this in an older barefoot nautique , it was a pretty nice setup

Progression tower-wise:

[SkiTower]

Looks like the backward tower was an afterthought. Turned it around to get the mounting point as far forward as possible. REALLY doubt any structural testing was done on that. Why spend 20K+ on that when you can get an 80's CC for 10K-15K and it won't depreciate.

I second the Chinese comment...

JUNK!

No wood, most importantly for many. No other problems that come with a 20+ year old boat. Warranty. More interior space. Pick your color, accessories, etc.

Don't get me wrong, the 2001 is my favorite inboard boat and I think is prettier (especially pre-'87) than this one (or any other). However I do really like this concept. Turn it around: Why spend 60K+ on a new inboard when you can get one for 27K or so?

I think CC should have done this themselves when times were good. Create a sub-brand (think Axis-Malibu, Smart-Mercedes, Scion-Toyota) for the entry-level market, to get people "attached" to your brand when buying their first new boat, so they'll come back later for that $100K SuperSuperAirwhatever.

You are seriously mistaken if you think this boat has any "after thoughts" or is "JUNK". Save that crap for wakeworld.
