Yes, the Carribeans are good.

Before I was married and I had money, I was seriously looking at a Carribean Intruder (19 something feet). The Reef Runner (21ft) had an issue with hull roll while cruising.
But the Intruder was the sparkle in my eye. Not great with all the "bells & whisltes", but I prefer simple, so it was perfect.
Then , , , , I got married and have kids , , , , the boat I have, will have to do , , , , and it does do , , , , quite well.
Wouldn't change a thing

We have a Caribbean Adventurer which is basically an intruder with a different top hull.. Good boat!
Seafarers have always been a favourite of mine also.
The new SL22 hard top certainly looks the goods.frozenpod wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2019 2:55 pmThe smaller custom builders such as Cootacraft, Bass Strait Boats, Eden Craft, Clayton etc.
Carribean has been a long standing quality at good price. Fit out is not flashy but they have everything you need.
Of the mass produced boats they all have there issues/cost saving measures but my pics are Whittley, Haines Signature, Cruise Craft.
The problem with Cruise craft is not the quality but the ride it a bit too hard and the price is nothing short of stupidly expensive.
Signatures, ride quality varies a lot with the exact model and none ride as well as the old haines models. So you have to pick carefully.
I really like the compact stern drive setup on the new whittleys so compact and no impact on deck space.
Hadn't seen this can only go with what I saw at the show. So what's the backstory behind it? Have seen the 680 patriot story someone shared I can't remember where.
