The price of the product has no reflection on quality. I have had lots of the N boats (the manufactures names start with N). one of the boats was so poorly laid up that the engine (inboard diesel) tried to go thru the hull! and this was a 70K boat! All of the others have been just dismal in design, build fit and finish. But they have Great marketing and big booths at FLIBS

I guess that we just keep on buying and paying the way over the top prices for inferior equipment.... as one slogan goes.... a passion for retail..

Are the owners more concerned with a wide dealer network to handle warranty worries and getting a boat "right now," or getting the right boat and having fewer headaches?

This isn't meant to be an antagonistic question in any way... it truly is a matter of the personality of the owner. Custom-building a small boat can be a headache on a proportional scale as a large one, obviously.
