Actually, as a end user, we do see issues with boats that we purchase. It might come in the form of delamination, voids in the epoxy, poorly laminated blades and boards, masts that were built without structural integrity and much more. Does this lead us to the reason that this happened in the production process? Sometimes it does. I looked at an A-Cat that was shipped out to a top competitor in which one of the hulls was not glued correctly and it had to be cut apart at the bows, straightened and reglued. My A-Cat had the beams reset because it originally was not lined up correctly when the beams were first layed up. As to promoting a product on this website, I do believe that with all that Rick and Mary have given to this community, you should pay for an ad. I have seen many other products discussed on this forum that did help promote the product, but most of those were talked about for certian reasons. The LR2 A-Cat and the A3 A-Cat have gotten quite a bit of exposure on this forum because of the uniqueness of the product when they were first released. I do not know if Morelli & Melvin pay for ads and I am sure that John Lindahl does not, but John builds one at a time and does only upon request. These boats do get talked about and I am sure that they have recieved orders because of that. The harryproa project could be talked about without placing an ad in the thread. Those are just my opinions though.
