are superboats still made

[RobF]

the biggest bargain out there right now is the used red tuff thats for sale you can not duplicate that boat for that price

I thought it was orange, not red but might be another one

Got a quote from Arnoldo at predator marine.. the molds are clean and open for anyone who wants a 21 build.. 20-23k for a bare hull. White gel coat.. fuel tank.. rubrail

orange/red tomatoe tomato

greg- the predator is the intimadator molds

[RobF]

take that $20-$22k bare hull, add a motor, set back, steering, hoses, gauges, bilge pump, switches and wiring, lights, canvas, cover, trailer, hardware, snap in rug, etc and you see that tuff is a steal at $42k

Its a big money sport now

you cant go into building something like a 21 and make money on the deal ...

You forgot tax and rigging .

There is another tuff for sale up in canada it is an 07. If I am not mistaken with the currency conversion it is about 30k
It is a real nice boat with a race hatch and the built in platform/setback.

just what I heard, from a good source- the intimidator molds need some work, where they are stored is one thing but I believe wes still owns them. im sure if someone is serious they will build you one but I believe the molds need work first

I have heard the same and from what i saw of the intimidator molds when they were being built the molds were never in the best shape...Very STICKY which caused damage to them on almost every pull from what i understand and from the repairs i saw on the new boats...Not knocking Intimidator or arnaldo but im not sure id want a boat outta those molds unless some serious time and money was spent making them right....

That being said $22k for a bare hull becomes $70k real quick finishing it off right....there are NO CHEAP NEW 21,2,3,4 SOBs anymore and when your done a superboat, activator, hustler, progression, predator are all around the same price comparably rigged....

what chemicals and what cloth, makes a big difference to the price

Chances are is a simple balsa layup, plywood stringers, plywood transom all basic build....and at that pruce hes still probably not making much....simple tried and true buil techniques which are great but some people want and infused all foam and epoxy boat and think there gonna pay 20k lol
