While most production boats are built to conform to ABYC and/or other comparable standards, there are many custom and semi-custom builders out there.  New boat builders come and go in cycles which parallel the global and domestic economy.  Some of these introduce a model and only produce a few hulls.  Some builders rise out of a failed company, and some of those failed for good reason. 

We can use our experience and our network of contacts to provide a confidential opinion of the industry reputation and “as-built” quality of a given boat.
