    Samson 19' catamaran boat ???

    Hi guys, I've been looking into 21 xtreme catamarans and came across this 19' catamaran, seller states the brand to be Samson, anyone ever heard of this builder? I researched and didn't find any info.

    I own the 19' Samson boat. The boat was manufactured with some kind of joint venture with LCB boats "Errol Lanier" . I had the boat at the Sebring event a few years ago & Errol was there & remembered doing the boat. The boat molds was owned by a guy in Michigan who got killed in a auto accident & then from there, Don't know what ever happened to molds , only a handful of boats were ever made. The boat is a very solid boat. I wish there was more information out there on the boat & molds. It seems like the history died with the owner of molds. Errol was very Vague on what ever happened to everything, I am thinking there was a big dispute over the molds & Errol just walked away & continued building his LCB open cockpit boats.

    Looks like it would be a wet ride with no splash rail.

    ive seen 1 of those hulls set up for drags yrs ago
    and it was wicked fast
    if u look at the steps u can see the last step at transom is only a 4" wide pad
    when it gets on those 2 little pads its loose and fast,,,
    I was impressed ,,,,,,,,,,,

    I found another 19' catamaran I'm looking into, I went to see it in person yesterday. It's a different hull than the 19' Samson hull above. The make is still unknown to me. Boat is in great shape, I'm very interested, I'm giving a deposit soon to go sea trial. I have a question maybe you guys can help with. Boat beam width is 77", length is 19'. I've been comparing to other 19' boats and in general they are wider, is 77" wide within standard for a 19' catamaran / hull?

    I also found an 18' Talon catamaran for a little more money but worth looking into. I've done research on Talon boats and they seem to be known and good quality. Also noticed the boat is 18' but 86" wide. That's 12"-13" wider than the other boat I found. I wonder if that makes a difference? Any input?

    We can arrange to meet this weekend if you're available. Do you have interior pics of your boat? Also, I lost the link showing the boat details, is it still posted or its deleted?
