    Finally. A easy to comprehend explanation for why Intrepid’s are unique. “Tender Market”. Never knew. Glad I stumbled on this. Well done.

    Very quality parts they can turn out. I used to do infusion there around 2006. A lot has changed. Especially the cnc. Didn't pay much, but everyone there was proud. We did very good infusions on top parts. Theres not one intrepid out there with spider cracking in the gel coat on top parts. We used very good coreing and sanded thoroughly before laying up the 17s and 18s.

    I hate that the only reason stated for doing resin infusion is to save weight. How about saying that resin infusion reduces weight, reduces labor, reduces build time, and reduces cost which we pass on to the customer while keeping the part just as strong as a hand layup.

    If you have the money why would you not buy an intrepid? MIdnight and some of the other less quality boats are just as expensive.

    What a super SUPER salesman, yes a boat should have 5 drink fridges, make it 6.. I'll order 2 boats tomorrow probably will send me broke though, hope they can attract the fish for me

      Sounded like "dicum". I've used a similar product called Mirka that is black. It's generically called dry guide coat.
