I visited the shop where they were made before they closed the doors. One of the nicest boats I have ever seen. The fit and finish was excellent. I never did get a chance to ride in one unfortunately. I came very close to purchasing the demo boat...Sorry I don't have more information for you..

impressed by the hull myself...kind of wanted a ride. too bad they closed. the 27 they had drawings for looked most impressive, preferable with an inboard diesel.

Definitely a good looking hull...

There was a gorgeous Fighting Lady Yellow 20' CC for sale at Ship Shops in Dennis this summer. It was brand new with a new eTec on it. They were asking in the vicinity of 50K for it.

The bow flare and lines on that hull are amazing, and the convex deck was interesting. Just a gorgeous boat...

Call Ship Shops, maybe it's still there.

No one to call - they were nice guys, but they're out of business - it's tough to make and sell a high quality boat. I was ready to pull the trigger, but my company was acquired and the time wasn't right for me. I test drove one (on flat water) and loved it. I have heard they can be wet, but otherwise I thought it was a terrific boat. Nice design, quality build.

I think he meant call Ship Shops on the Cape for the leftover they had/have.
