Go and spend the time reading the e-mail correspondence between these two and Charter Cats.Spend the time to read it all,very very enlightening.
I take my hat off to this couple,not only an epic adventure but having to deal with the boat problems and a negative in the extreme response from manufacturer would crush many of us.
Seems that they now have a very worthy boat and it will possibly have a higher re sale value than a standard Charter Cat product.
Hope that all these problems are behind them and the sun shines on them for the rest of their trip.
As an aside,are the problems encounted by this couple a regular occurance with any and all manufacturers or is this a one off example,I'm interested as I'm looking at a "production" boat as opposed to a one off for the same type of adventure.
What production boat are you looking at? Be sure to look at some of the same manufacturer with a few years on them. I think the Wildcat is an example of pretty crappy construction. It seems that they even moved their factory because the open walled factory created too many problems with the bonding of the gelcoat. Or was that caused by a lighting strike? Just kidding...
