Who's making them? I know you see a lot of Bat Boats and Phantom (and Extreme maybe?) comes to mind as well. Any manufacturers make any one offs? I know Activator made one 27 ft with a full canopy...anyone know of any others like that?
Just curious.

10-01-2009 12:06 PMI think Lavey probably would build you one. I think they only build one race boat and then two pleasure 29s (which are open top canopy boats like a fountain PR). There's on at National Liquidators right now. I would bet, for the right price any of the custom builders would build you something... And I think there are several competitive used SVLs for sale right now.

10-01-2009 12:19 PMThere are a couple of single v's that I would love to see in a full canopy version. I guess it would probably add tremendously to the cost of the build to have a canopy (done the right way) to a normally open boat...maybe that's why you don't see too many company's doing it?

10-01-2009 12:36 PMI don't think its that. It's just a small market...basically one race class.

10-01-2009 02:42 PMKevin said the boat was expensive, mainly due to the canopy, a good one will cost nearly as much as the hull does. Originally Posted by Gladhe8er

10-01-2009 03:33 PMTony built a very intresting canopy, maybe not as "pretty" as the MTI's and Skater but very nice and and strong.
