FT 13.8 under way? Options

Wow. Hansheng is not an unknown company in the boat building world. Makes you wonder what is going on with all the other boats they build.

I can only imagine that there is more to this story....and I wouldn't be too quick to place all the blame on the factory...that side of the story has not been told here...

I'm sure that there are people reading this forum who know more about this story that what they are telling....

58 days till forum shutdown, enjoy the robust debate while you can.

I'm contemplating sponsorship of the forum.....the entertainment value is just too good to let this thing die....

kinda like closing gitmo - just can't unleash some of the characters in here on the rest of the world.

bizarre is a great choice of words...

this whole disaster has played out in slow motion for several years right here on SA, and clearly there is much more to the whole story than what we've been told...

perhaps the saddest part is that people actually opened their wallets to this stupidity....for some of us this has just been sick entertainment, but for others they spent tens of thousands of dollars on a very bizarre deal...

yes bizarre

bizarre how how people opened their wallets and bought boats with money

bizarre how these boats seem to be good value and perform very well dollar for dollar with their rivals

dude honestly take it outside and don't let the door smack you on the arse on the way out

W O R D !

Yet another active racer from the U. S. just purchased a new boat; proving once again that when compared to other sportboats, the FT10 is a real deal.

If it is a new boat, did Bob Perry get the royalty payment?

Since the boat was obtained through Hiptrader, the answer to your question is probably YES!

If that's the case why "probably"? Maybe? Over here we say "Mungkin", "Perhaps" is the direct translation. It's an Indonesian face saving word for "I don't have any idea."
