Ok Matt,
If I am wrong have Matt Miller et al step up and state unequivocally that Hobie, in any of it's company names, was not sued by someone, or there family, who was electrocuted.
And that there was no agreement which caused them to put on the comp-tip and or the "non-conducting" tller extension..
No half-truths, no vague comments, no marketing B.S., just simple straightforward facts.
Just the truth.

What "quality of boats"?
If what they produce now is an improvement, I am surprised any of the previous boats floated.
The only quality is being produced in europe.
I bought a new sail for my Hobie 17 last year, CRAP, CRAP, CRAP
It is cheap, flimsy, one-sided mylar which will only last for a few years.
I pay the same square-foot price as the Tigers, but we are stuck with CRAP

You childish name-calling has zero effect on me.
You should know that by now.
If any company representatives don't want to be challenged when they post B.S., they shouldn't not post.

Keep sucking up to Hobie Corp., maybe they will let you be president of IHCA next.
