While tis true they have been around a long time, many of their boats HAVE been succesfully built. Some are ancient designs, some are simple construction, some are complex.......
If you delve into their website, you will find many photos of many happy customer built boats. Sure there are some rarely built turds, but there are many nice proven designs also. I would also like to build the Riviera, but it is a huge undertaking and I have decided that while I may build a mini version (squirt or flying saucer), if I ever take on a full size mahogany runabout, it will be a RESTORATION of a pre-war runabout so when I am finished, it will be worth something.
