Hey Ron,
Hope a little correction is OK , and some day we WILL get together [fishin]
But for Top quality boats that are so good that the rest of the industry copied them. All a person has to do is go to
[url "http://www.steelheader.com/"][/url]http://www.steelheader.com/[/url]
I would not say the " rest of them " copied them.
If I am correct "Ken " from catchercraft
[url "http://www.catchercraft.com/"][/url]http://www.catchercraft.com/[/url]
worked for Billt Skokum building / designing his frames.
When the daughter took over ( steelheader.com ) Ken helped out for a while fixing frames for her. This while he was running and taking care of his own business aka Catchercraft boats.
Thats why he has an almost exact copy for his products - his designs to begin with. And actually has made better improvments /additions to them since. Both are very good products. But with Catchercraft being somewhat less money and a little better design and ability to customize, personally Catchercraft all the way.
Even though I did not purchase my cataraft thru Catchercraft I have to say Ken was a great person and gave me tons of info KNOWING I was going to purchase elsewhere. Why ? Ken was at a min 4 months out for the purchase.
Now with the few problems / accidents along the way - my order was that long anyway .[crazy] Still glad I went the way I did though.
Also yes most ( not all ) build frames or part out ( NRS ) frames , Steelheader / Catchercraft / Bad Cat ect and use Maxxon tubes.
All good products at a decent price.
Generally next step up is almost twice the cost.
Always feell free to correct me / add anything I missed.
