Is Commander so bad??

I believe that might be the general consensus around here Josh..
Anytime you want to come out to LV (moving next week) I can arrange you a ride in my 29' Cheetah, or lots of other options from the lasvegas***boats crowd....

My buddy is selling his 2002 2800 Cat. We worked all the bugs out of the boat, but dealing with Commander has put a bad taste in his mouth to the point were he doesn't want the boat any longer. Everytime the boat went in for service/warrantee, it would come back with more problems then it went in with. Commander's service and repair people are incompetent, rude and just plain unprofesional.
I finally took care of all the problems related to warrantee myself.
Good boat . service , What they need is an ass kicking Q/C person to get things done. It should take 4 weeks to get a 20 hour service. But my boat does run good in rough water and in cruise to catalina So I am happy with it.

It's all about having a good time isn't it SYA
I ran next to a 29' Signature at Mead memorial weekend, and have seen it out there since. Looks like the boat they had at the LA show, pretty nice lookin' boat.

You got that right and I love to have fun Dicu

There will always be someone who can't be please to satisfation by any maker, bottom line is you enjoy it and its fun.
Personally I have had good luck with both my Commanders, both purchased new, second one custom ordered and on time, with even a few extras thrown in for me. Better results with them if done with Sugar rather than with Spice. And maybe a few extra ZipTies like the Cheetahs.
It floats, it goes, everyone is happy.

Power plant, outdrive, hardware, cosmetic or structural problems?
Cosmetically it looked good, the gel did not turn out as it was drawn. Bad spots in the mold (which only took over 2 years and at least 4 months i at Commander to get fixed). The boat was said to do close to 80 mph, when my buddy told me that I laughed. Turns out the first weekend out we could only squeek 57mph out of it, and that's with a DPX 500hp Volvo. Turns out Commander didn't even know what drive they had put on the boat. The interior wasn't finished when the boat, that was more than 2 weeks behind schedule, was delivered. Upon removing the interior panels to install the stereo, the wires were just hanging there not attached to anything. They also looked like a rats nest with wires hanging out of the bundle.
I could go on for days, but I'm tired of typing. Bottom line, if it were me, I wouldn't buy a Commander (especially after they filed BK).

I bought mine new/custom and haven't had any major issues. A few problems here and there but Commander took care of them for me. Overall I have had a good experience with them. Maybe I'm lucky, but they put out a lot of boats.

In the past commander was a good quality boat,
But as in most everything, if you dont step up when the rest of the competition does, you get left behind. Case and Point Commander and now BK, I say we let this thread die as most everyone on here already knows not to BUY FROM THEM.....

Shake Yo Azz,
I threw you the "Shocker" at the Sandbar on saturday. I was on the 2800 cat that was side tied to the silver Mas28 (the euro, James Bond, looking boat), that we call the Sliver Dildo.

Or you can buy a ShockWave and need tape to keep your tailer light on
