Privateer Boats... What do you think about them?

[flyingfrizzle]

I was wandering what you guys think about boats build by Privateer. They are a local company here in NC that produces quality hand laid hulls. From everything I hear they make on hell of a boat. Our marine fisheries us them and some of the water law enforcement as well. There is a lot of commercial guys that use them and beat them to death as well. Just wanting to know if anybody up here has had one or known someone with one and weather or not what they liked about it and disliked. The main model I would like to know about is the 2800 Sea Prowler deep vee 28' hull. I believe it is a splash of an 28' whitewater or another hull that came originality from the formula 233. I think the P&d 25' came from the Formula 233 and the P&D lead to the 25 sea vee, contender and whitewater. Then contender, see vee and whitewater took their own road to develop different hulls /sizes to meet consumer demand. Some where down the line the 28' Privateer got splashed from one of those hulls that was derived from Don Aronow's original designs (owner/founder of formula/magnum/donzi/cigarette/cary 32/ect). Privateer is know for super strong no frill hulls and have a cult like following similar to the seacraft. They are a simi custom built boat all done by hand. Not the best finish but well built and a good ride for what people say. Any info on the 28' model would be appreciated.
