Shearwater was making great boats at one point. Then for numerous reasons their quality control and customer service went down hill! It would be nice to see the company regain good standings, but when you start leaving bitter taste in people's mouths that invested good money in a product, well you know the rest!
I know of a dozen extremely happy Shearwater owners, and a dozen that would never buy another for good reasons!
I'll leave it at this, there's numerous boats that will do or can what a SW is capable of, some more and some less expensive. That comes down to preference. If you can afford it and the product is worthy of the money spent then so be it!
I bought an 08 in late 07 and its been worth every penny! Damn near flawless!
I do know of others that were garbage. Just my $.02
