💯 correct until that last sentence. I have several in production now and several in the sales process.
Glad to hear you are still making them.

Any recommendations on the tiller gear selector issue? Mercury? Lol, save me some time drawing up a solution in CAD to 3d print a prototype.

I stand corrected! As you can probably guess, I am a big fan of the Glide and meant no disrespect. I was repeating what I had heard from a third party. I think the Glide is an important player in skinny water skiffs and am happy that you are continuing to produce them.

No worries! Just clearing the air.

We built a demo for Miami but it is pending sale now.

The glide is such a stellar performing boat, Ive been on one a hand full of times. Its one of the only boats I've been on that actually surprises me how well is handles a chop. When you tab down it goes from riding like a skiff to just butter. I agree its as tippy as a boat that narrow would expect to be but its manageable if you are used to smaller boats. If you like shallow water fishing and have some balance its hard to go wrong with the glide.

That's the thing that surprised me the most. So much so, that I'm contemplating if I should sell my Challenger instead of the Glide once the Challenger is done. It will be interesting to compare the two though I can say the old scholl construction of the Challenger will make it considerably heavier.

I sold my 1999 redone HB Whip to keep the Glide. I was never sorry. I really liked the Glide.
