Hey #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&....

I checked out the picks of your barge on your website. I have the same rig. Love it. T-top looks awesome, I've been looking 4 one for my rig. Have you got any info on yours, or did it come with the boat?

ahhh but she looks MUCHO different now man, It just came back from a 7 month stay in sunny Fla, where it was replaced due to a delaminated hull....so it looks like this now:



It's sitting at the T top place right now waiting for a custom hard-top to be installed, along with a casting rail for the front. Hopefully this barge will last longer than the 6 months the first one did.....

What color etc you got?

Mine is all white. The only thing I'm not happy with is the spider cracks in the gelcoat, and I had to fix some chips in the floor gelcoat. Seems like a real cheap ass gelcoat job. Dealer says its normal (YEAH RIGHT)!!!! Thats a salesman 4 ya. I haven't taken it any further yet. What happened to yours?

hundreds of spider cracks on the hull, caused by hull delaminating from the stringers, they admitted they messed up building it. T top ripped out of deck and console, oh man the list goes on.....I fought for a new one and got it, so I got a 2003 hull and the 2002 motor.
Been a real pain dealing with them, and if I knew then what I know now then it would have gone to court to get my money back etc. I've wasted thousands on these clowns now. I still like the boat but if it happens again then it's ixnay on the boat and i'm going to buy a new catamaran while I sue their collective a$$es off. The rep doesn't even want to talk to me no more, and i'm WELL known in Miami....but I PAID for a new boat and expected it to last longer than 6 months...and I hope this one does

What kind of boat are you guys talking about? I would be pissed too if a 6-month old boat was loaded with crack, Salty I am happy the manufacturer replaced it for you, good luck on the new shell..

Fishaholic not sure how old your boat is but if it's got alot of spidercracks also you might want to comfront the dealer also, It sounds like this manufacturer has a serious problem with their gelcoat process. The cracks will probably get worse with time..

John R. hope you found what you been looking for, hopefully it all works out and finds it's way up here....

Angler 20' center console

If you do a search for Angler on thehulltruth.com you'll come up with the salybugger saga

Mine is a 2000 Angler 20ft. center console. How do you go about contacting Angler, since my dealer is of no help?
