Are they the ones made over in Douglas? If so the same company makes Cape Craft and Palm Beach. I went to the factory about 10 months ago and took a tour. I also looked at a few finished boats they had there. They look to be built fairly well. I would look at the other models and compare prices. They differ very little in style but there is some difference in price. How much are you looking to spend?? If you don't mind me asking.

hey cb,
it is actually my neighbor who is looking at the cc next to jp's on norman drive. i went and looked at it with him last night. for a 1999 it has been used pretty hard. we also found out that the motor was blown and rebuilt recently. the owner said that he had been using it recently, but none of the registrations are up to date so who knows. he wants 12,000 for it. :thumbdown:

Hey pj.

Have only done a drive by on that rig, 12K no way.. BTW do you stay next to HMS. Just curious cause I have seen a pretty good size boat parked at the house right next to HMS.

I'm not familiar with that particular boat, but I know you can get a 22' Walk In CC brand new with a 150 Yammie and aluminum trailer for 22,000 at Cotton Marine. I haven't had any dealings with him but that seemed like a fair price. That is also with a T-Top.

cb, i do not deal with cotton anymore. had them do a little work on a boat for me right after they opened and i wound up having to go in after them and fix the problem myself. left a bad taste - u know.

weren't you the guy who asked bout the 17 proline on old 41. did you buy it, how much did he want for it??

I haven't had any dealings with Cotton myself but have heard mixed feelings about their services. I haven't been looking for a boat in about 2 years I guess. When I get home I will be ready to get one though.
