Cool Mini Boat @ ATL Boat Show

[ToMorrow44]

Thought these were pretty cool and price isn’t too bad I thought. I would have gotten in a lot of trouble if I had one of these as a kid.

Also make a mini pontoon

That little 4 seater is cool. Pontoon, not so much. Thanks for sharing.

Fairly certain they are just importing boats from China. Their website definitely has that feel about it. Their "physical address" doesn't have the space for that many molds inside, and I don't see any outside...

That could definitely explain the price point. I didn’t look into them any further, but I thought the red one looked pretty good quality wise in person.

China or not.... can definitely tell the outboard is a east coast market boat just by that interior alone. Put a bench in the back, nicer front seats and bump that power up to about 120 or so and that could be a really fun little boat.

I think the lines of that thing are horrendous.

But damn. That is cheap. That 60 HP Honda lists for 8500.

Just order a few hulls on Alibaba and rig them up to save some dough?

That boat would be 40+ over here.. . I can’t believe you are getting a built boat with a Honda for that price?

How in the hell are you up to $8k on jackplate and steering? Or is that including install labor? A Hydraulic jack plate from Bob's machine is about $1,600 and about the same for a Seastar setup with hoses. Maybe $2k if you factor in bezels and what not.

Looks like they’re made in Georgia and buy some of the photos on their Facebook account. I’m pretty sure they also have the mold there too.
