Us big boys have been wondering that for a while now. The Fox landed in the US like a brick and sunk. I don't think we've seen an Eagle here or any of the other proposed F20 type boats.

The I20 is getting dated.... The M20 is 50k+ We would like newer, lighter, faster, better for the fat boys club. Is that realistic right now? Not really. Here in the US, we're either our own market (see the H20, 6.0na and I20) and that's fizzling out, so now we're becoming a trickle down market from the EU (read F18).

Many of us hoped to see a F20 class start but lack of manufacturer support (i.e. boats that meet the same standard) is a MAJOR hurdle to cross. There have been talks of a US manufacturer producing a boat and we've even talked a/b producing a platform but it just doesn't look viable.
