[Mr. Dean]

VERY respected vessels made in C. River (Campbell) - Not P. River (Powell), which is located on the Mainland.

Would just HATE to see you go to the wrong town to pick up the new canoe. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Some like it rough...
Others just puke!.

Halillama I'm not sure if the answering the phone was a poke @ me and the company that I work for but we do answer the phone when were not with clients providing the highest level of customer service including sea trials. We are growing fast with a much larger facility and we average many inquiries daily for custom built boats and this is why I was hired as the sales manager for Eaglecraft to assist with the increased volume including international markets. I do agree there are many manufacturers of Aluminum Boats but there is quite a bit of difference in the quality, hull design, durability and longevity of these boats. I am not here to defend myself but to offer free advice. So Prairie Dog feel free to contact me any time.

Cheers ME

It's not easy to manufacture a quality durable aluminum boat.. Eagle Craft is a good boat, and worth considering if you have the $$$$...

Augh so many nice boats ill never be able to afford guess ill keep dreamin

 

[HALILLAMA]

No....'Do Not Poke the Bear'..<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>.........It was misunderstood. I only meant there is other welded aluminum boats built by others only w/phone, no web access.(Northwest,Predator Etc..the list is big)The Differences are huge too,quality,material,$$,extras,,certification DOT,SOLAS,and so on.
Ps it is a great company and facility. Good job Kevin!Good Luck!

I love the boats I sell and represent but doubt I will ever be able to afford to have one of my own. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Mabye one day, till then I will just keep dreamin and drueling. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Halillama Thanks!!!!

Thanks Prairie Dog for the kind words. When you get out here come and see me and I will give you a complete tour of our new facility. As for the head being in the wrong spot no problem we will just build it where you want it cabin size permitting. I will also email you some info about our new line up the Outlaw/Eagle 24ft with a 2ft outboard pod 26ft OAL. Yes a 6 foot person can sleep in our cuddy models.

Cheers Kev
