Good job, Raas'! Also, bringing out the CEO is a good move. You guys have longevity, performance, luxury, and are still trying to give low price point potential buyers options. If I could eventually purchase a 5m cat tender as a runaround in the Philippines, I'd be very happy.

Would LOVE to see some designs where you return to the walkthrough saloon to the bow. I personally don't need/want a huge master bedroom, nor do I need/want a helm in the saloon. The ideal PC for me would be an enclosed Fly with walkthrough saloon to the bow. One side of the lower accommodations is dedicated to the master bedroom and the other is dual VIP accommodations. This could all be done on the 46' and 53' that is currently in production.

Is there a list of facilities that can haul out a 27 foot beam boat? Gulf coast, Florida, BVI, etc?

Unfortunately, all the Aquilas I've looked at have very poor quality and workmanship, like panels falling off the roof, the joins on the stairs going up to the flybridge are terrible where the stairs joining the superstructure on the 44, mould under the seats and just shabby "don't care" issues like cables hanging out loosely as the TV rises up. It would not be hard to gather the cables together and find a neat solution. And this was on an Aquila that was only 12 months old. Virtually brand new. Also, their dinghy launch is very Neanderthal. There are much better systems on the market. They could also remove all the little nooks and crannies in the cabinetry in the cabins and make it more aesthetic. I liked the layout of the 44 and not so much the 54. However, the quality leaves much to be desired.

If you only have less than 4 minutes to talk about your boats they must be crap.
