 Re: need a good boat builder
Breaux Brothers or Brother Breaux? Two different builders.
Garrett Pearce built both of our boats and we're happy with them. Few other sponsors on this site worth checking out.

 Re: need a good boat builder
I'll throw my vote in for Uncle J. He built my rig, and I love it.
I would say talk to all of them, look at what they have built and go from there. You really don't want to make your decision based on what a bunch of keyboard ninjas tell you!!

 need a good boat builder
Just a FYI and question since everyone knows everyone else's business......
Last year we made over 80 boats. Out of the 80 boats, we had 2 or 3 that had a minor issue. We took care of it in the most timely manner and made sure that the customer was 100% satisfied..
If I am missing something, would someone please come forth. I hear negative from people that don't own a uncle j boat.
When will these so called unhappy cracked leaky boat owners come out??
Come out... Come out.. Were ever you are !!!!!!!!

 Re: need a good boat builder
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and EVERYONE that has commented on my boat said it looked bad arse. Don't hate the player, hate the game...

Nothing but compliments on my rig either. Same goes for the other 4 of my buddies with Uncle J boats. And to my knowledge, none of them have any leaks.

If I can't break it. It can't be broken. Only thing I have broken is my grab bar. I am kinda scared to get it beefed up cause I think it's gonna start breaking my ribs

 Re: need a good boat builder
Okay ya'll asked for it!!!! I have one of the cracked uncle J boats in question. It has been welded twice on the transom/ huntdeck area of the boat. As it was explained to me, my boat was built by a person who worked for jason for a short time and NO LONGER works for him due to inferior welding practices. It seems every boat this so called "king of welders" built has the same problems. There are people on this site who also have boats built by the same guy while he was working for himself who have the SAME problems I am having but will never come forward. Why , who knows ?? I will never understand it. I'm the type who calls a spade a spade and I can tell all the uncle J haters one thing right here right now, JASON is building me another complete rig, free of charge, exactly like my old one. Did I have to threaten him, no. Did he argue and say it must have been the way I treated the boat, no. His exact words where, "man there is no reason u deserve to be going through this". "This is not how I do buisiness and I will take care of it 100%" So all of the uncle j naysayers out there can chew on that a lil while. The man builds a great product and stands behind them as he says he will, end of story.

 Re: need a good boat builder
I've read nothing but good things about J's boats, except for the remarks on this thread, but I've gotta get in a plug for my guys at Phowler.
I'm no hardcore, LA stump jumper, but I've been very pleased with my Phowler. The boat is tough, stable, and amazingly nimble, considering its size and power. I also enjoyed working with Bubba, Paul, and Bob to get my rig set up to my specifications. When my first rig was wrecked on my way home from the factory, these guys bent over backwards to build me another boat fast, before our season opened. FWIW, you've got two Phowler dealers down there in your neck of the woods.

 Re: need a good boat builder
You're always gonna have old grumpy bastards, and you'll always have new blood coming in and pissing them off, because the old grumpy assbaskets can't stand to see new blood doing well. Some of you grumpy bastards I like. And then some of you I find humor in your anger/jealousy/sadness. You know who you are.
