    Semi-displacement Ocean Crossing

    Nordhavn's new line The new line of Nordhavns can do it, and they are semi-displacement, whether you accept the category or not.

    So said the wise man in Post No. 18,146. Geez, Brett, where do find the time to do anything else?

    Of course, I wasn't asking you, but since you mention it, are you saying that Ken Fickett has committed "civil fraud?" Thanks, though, for keeping it kinda of short.

    You say conman. You say liar several times. You say unethical. Are you actually accusing Ken Fickett of having committed a crime? Because conmen are criminals who commit fraud. Are you saying Ken Fickett has committed fraud? But, again, thank you for making your feelings known under your real...

    No one mentioned you, except you, Miz Trom.

    Who is really the troll? When I identified myself as a "troll," I was being ironic. I gave my real first and last names and stated my agenda in full transparency, not a troll thing to do. Then I made some observations about the nature of the boat building industry that apply generally as well...

    By the way if you are friends of BandB, I think an intervention is called for. His responses are way to long to achieve the impact that he aspires to. As Polonius liked to say, "Brevity is the soul of wit."

    What was that headline on the SeaRay 54 that we were not able to print. Oh yeah, I remember: TIPPY CANOE AND PRICEY TOO.

    Great boats, I guess, if you're in the NFL and like to party. After years of working in boating magazines, I just remember the self-censorship that had to occur when writing reviews of those POS because Brunswick or whoever owned them at the time was the biggest advertiser. But truth be told, I...

    So when you say "opinion" in boldface, you are actually saying you have no evidence what you are saying happened or didn't happen or could have happened. When I compared these situations to a divorce I was not kiddiing. It's pretty facile to make that kind of judgement from afar. And I wont...

    Some types of people definitely should not buy Hull No. 1 of the N44 or Hull No. 1 of any other boat. Here is the test: Did you constantly freak out when you were having your custom home built? Do you change your mind a lot? Would you tell your entire family to book air travel to Florida on a...

    Wow! BandB, how anyone would construe what I wrote as an attack on Nordhavn I don't know, since it was merely an example of another good builder that nonetheless has a vocal minority of critical customers. Methinks, based on this type of debating tactic, you are a lawyer. I'm right, no?

    Thank you for making my point. Despite the fact that Jeff Leishman is good naval architect and one who collaborates with other good naval architects, it has not stopped a vocal minority of Nordhavn customers from criticizing the company. Also, I can tell you this. Jeff's brother, Nordhavn VP...

    Some certainly are. There's no reason to believe the boat-buying cohort does not have its share, probably in proportion to the general population, which seems to have quite a few these days. Also, having money does not seem to innoculate against the malady of foolishness. That is not to say...

    Judging by the number of posts you have made, I will never have the time to answer you point by point since I continue to have a job that requires attention elsewhere. But because of your tone and tenor, I see that you take this very personally, and you don't really care to know who I am or...

    Great Harbour new N44 “concept”

    I did not personally witness the events in connection with this boat and why certain decisions were made. It's too bad really. I have seen other cases like this, though, and sometimes it is not as one-sided as it may seem. Kinda like a messy divorce. Again, decisions around new boat buying can...

    You might say that I really am a "troll" for Great Harbour since I help the company out with its marketing. I'd just like to point out a couple things: 1. American boatbuilders are a unique breed, typically irascible, opinionated and not willing to suffer fools. They tend to build good boats. 2...
