Dan, Pick up any major boating magazine this month and Reggie's 65' is on the cover. Lakeland Boating, popular around the Great Lakes, mentioned that he has the 40 and 50' boats coming out. I'll bet the 40' is around $500,000+ and how many boats does he have to sell to increase company sales by 50%? Not many. Yes, Donzi has tried this too, but they are small potatoes (literally; their big boat is only 38' if I'm not mistaken; anyway, they are too small). Baja doesn't make a real cruiser. Black Thunder sort of makes a cruiser, but not really. Wellcraft makes the 45' Xcalibur and it is a really fast 55 MPH top end cruiser (boy, do I have a jones for that boat!) but Wellcraft has no dealer network to speak of - I think). And Riviera Yachts makes the hulls - in Australia! How committed to that boat do you think Wellcraft is? Wellcraft also has Scarab but, again, no cruiser. Mike
