It's all about the promotion, if you get the right company / right people to promote a product you can sell ice to the eskimo'scobby wrote:No, and they're the definition of fugly, but they're also not as hyped up as bcs are.

I've not rode in a BC but there seems to be a lot of negativity ? is it the mob mentality or is there truth in the ride ?
I think I can live with the looks of the stabis ?

Re: Hook line and sunk
They're a better ride than a pressed tinny of similar dimensions (quinny, savage, stacer etc.) like most plate boats are, they aren't the be all and end all of plate boats they're made out to be and nowhere near comparable to a semi decent glass boat.hornet wrote:It's all about the promotion, if you get the right company / right people to promote a product you can sell ice to the eskimo'scobby wrote:No, and they're the definition of fugly, but they're also not as hyped up as bcs are.

No you wont, they're awesome...tough as guts and unsinkable. If I was to 'accidently' run over a kayak or jetski, I'd rather be in a Stabi over anything made of fibreglass.

Whilst entertaining and I hope no one runs over a kayak or a jetski (and its great you love your boat) that is 100% incorrect.

But it's an even better feeling releasing them
