I don't usually post subjects on this type of matter but this is a blatant rip off of the boatbling product . If anyone has seen the cuurent ***boat magazine, on the full page Eddie Marine ad there is a new item for the 496 motor. It is there but you have to look past the girls of ***boat online photo spread (very nice might I add) Apparently they designed and cut a new engine cover at their in house cnc shop with a striking similarity to the boatbling engine covers we have seen on HB members boats all over the country for over a year. I have personally witnessed the hard work and effort put forth by Patrick (Roln 20s) and Tom (Dr. Margarita) in the past two years in an effort to create a unique product which they stand behind with excellent post sale customer service.
I can understand the business mentality in which improving an existing product is simply the way things are done especially in the west coast performance boat market but the following pictures do all of the talking on this matter.
