Looks like they were doing more than just "testing" the boat

...and let's just say that neither one came back in the same condition as they left...lol.
I think that M35 is a very good looking boat, though.

I have heard they have improved their layup schedule, so that probably fixed any glass issues from a couple years ago.
IMHO, building a cat for offshore is a different animal. Once again, up until now, I don't think Dave (or most of his customers) ever intended his stuff to be run hard offshore, but you'll have to ask him.

I don't know how well they hold up in rough water, but Dave builds some of the prettiest, best rigged boats of anyone. You pay for it, but you're getting something for your money.

What do they charge for their boats? I've never shopped them, but I can't imagine they price them with the Offshore cats? I always figured they were priced in line with Eliminators or similar?
