I have one, it's on his website on the home page. It's a nice boat but the "kid" who runs the company is a complete jackass. Good luck on getting him to return phone calls or do anything above par from a customer service stand point.

I like my boat but not enough to deal with him again. I'll be buying from another builder next go round.

Good luck.

I heard his welds don't hold up on his boats.

I've heard of welds and things breaking and he wants to charge again for it to get redone. It's just what I've heard from a few and that's one of the reasons I avoided him. He also priced his boats a little higher than most other custom builders.

I've heard the same thing about his welds, luckily i havent had any of those issues. No leaks as of yet and i've been pretty rough on the boat. As I said before though, i'll never buy another one from him just based on the customer service. Or lack there of i reckon.

I was going to purchase one this last summer. After trying to talk to him a few times I decided I would look elsewhere. Seems like a kid that would rather go out and play than build boats and answer phone calls and emails. It's sad when the best way to get a hold of him is literally on his Instagram. I've heard several stories of welds breaking and the boats not being as fast as they should be an uneven surfaces. Also he charges even more than every reputable custom builder. Do a little research on here and you'll find someone. There's Deafowl, dfou, WC customs, prodigy, and uncle J just to name a few off the top of my head. All better boats at a better price and MUCH better customer service..
