A little criticism here. As a couple who have been in the market for a new boat I feel a little bit "let down"...
This is the year 2016! We are contemplating spending a ton of money on a boat... Wouldn't you thing a manufacturer would do their best to get their product up to date and online?
I can pick on any manufacturer that we have considered too! Sabre, Nordic Tugs, and the boat we ultimately decided upon all have what I'd consider minimal web exposure. They are each and every one there, but...
Take Nordic Tugs for example. They have had their 40' tug on the drawing boards for more than a year now (we spoke to Cory in CT last year before the local trawler fest and he acknowledged its existence then!) and in fact they have delivered a number of the 40' hulls but the website has few pictures of the project! They use mostly pictures of the 39' and say "photos of the Nordic Tugs 40 will be available soon..." How difficult can it be to get some pictures up?
It is not just Nordic either. Sabre is building lots of boats and by all accounts very busy. Their website is better but still minimally informative, imho.
Wouldn't you think that a company would try to maximize the online presence of their product?
Curious...
