Ralph-

Wow what a boat. My Intruder 21 is all and more than I expected. A great ride and superior handling in flat or rough seas. The performance in shallow water and the boats ability to plane in water I would not have attempted to go in with any previously owned boat is amazing.

I take this boat off shore to distances I would normally only go in a much larger vessel with complete confidence. I have caught trout,redfish and grouper in the same day. The boat certainly has generated lots of attention around the marinas. Several charter captians have asked to take a test ride and all have beenfavorably impressed.

It is fair to say that of all the boats I have owned ,30+, the intruder is by far the most economical to operate and the most fun.

I will sent along some pictures later in the Spring.

Best regards,

Re: The best all around boat in the world!

Ralph, I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and patients with the construction of my 21’ Intruder. It is by far the “Best all around boat ever built!”. As you know I have worked on boats my entire life and over the past 28 years have been heavily involved in fishing a wide variety of fisheries.
For the past 14 years I have become an avid backcountry and flats fisherman. I have been the owner of 12 different boats, 5 of which have been small (14’ to 20’) catamaran power boats… and none of them came come close to comparing to the 21’ Intruder. I have looked and studied long hours to find a boat that does all that the Intruder does, and almost gave up the hunt until I saw an article in a fishing magazine about your boats. I knew from that moment that I had to come see you and test one out. Well, the rest is history as they say…”I fell in love with every aspect of this boat!”. I have been fishing offshore in 5 foot plus seas and the next day poling the flats in 8” of water hunting Reds. One might think that I am a little biased since I spent so much time an effort looking for the right boat, but I don’t think so.
I have never taken it out and someone not stop me to ask about my boat and tell me how much they like the design. I have several professional fishing buddies that are sponsored or own boats by big companies like “Ranger”, “Action Craft”, “Hell’s Bay”, “Mako”, “Hews”, and “Maverick” just to name a few. Every one of these guys mentioned just how impressed they are with the construction, style, and versatility of my boat. If it weren’t for big money sponsorships there is no doubt, in my mind, that each of them would also own an “Intruder”. I hope you are ready for your company to take off, because this boat is a winner!

Thanks Again,
