Thanks guys.
Will do my best to be an active member of the board.

Pretty close there Kev pretty close...
He could answer it better than me, but from what I remember when I was having my boat built is that Bob Burns also owns Stealth so its kinda a family connection.
Anyway they build a boat that looks a lot like Moneypit's 25' Laser. I was spamming their boat and web-site on Hotboat the other day to a guy that had a ? about Cheetah. Really good people down there, and Bob's guys at Cheetah.

BINGO.

Cheetah "dad" owns Cheetah Boats.

Stealth was set up to make a very different line of boats from Cheetah, as well as handle 100% of the warrenty and service work on the Cheetahs.

Hello Bob:

At the moment I am a 1 boat business.
We are only producing a 25ft Deep-V.
The next boat will probably be a Deck and then a longer Deep-V. Expect to see the Deck in late 2005 and the the next in 2006.

As for costs, I post all of the prices right on the www site to make it as easy as possible to evaluate our boats.

QUESTION??

How is it that all of you are embedding an image into your signature block??

[PUMP 'HER']

go to the control panel, in the signature box add the address for whatever pic you want to post (it has to be hosted on line somewhere) with [img] before and /img (this /img needs to have [ before and ]after it, cant do it to show you or it will be looking for an image to post) and it should come up. Now that I read this it sounds confusing to myself, hope it helps.

The walk through open bow DOES retain the mid cuddy seats IF you want them.
Most people opt for a 100qt cooler and 1 seat across from it.

There WOULD be room for a small cooler so long as ONE of the two seats is a Jump seat/Single seat rather than the double wide seat.

Since its all a custom build, you can pretty much get it any way your heart desires...

I'll tell you the story of the mold if ya want, but Chris probably knows it better. I believe both originated as the virage hull out of the mid 90's. Has since been sold and re-worked by Stealth, Laser etc
I just PM'ed him to ask if the bottom is the same on his Stealth as your Laser. Genesis 251 is along the same lines...

Stealth, Welcome to the boards, Great looking boat by the way. Good Luck.

So far as I know, Laser bought one of the plugs off of the original mold of the boat.

So, from a "Look and Feel" perspective, they are near identical in the outside form of the boat. But that should be where all similarities end.

What they did to the underside of the hull or to the interior is unknown to me.
