    • I think you're right. It's a good design, but nothing lasts forever.
      • Nothing said Valian had to keep the same designs!
        • True, but introducing a new design costs real money...
          • An old saying; you have to spend money to make money!
        • Hindsights easy. Would a new design have saved Valiant?
          • Possibly Bob Perrys new design of the PSC38 'may' have saved PSC
            • I always say, you got to have money to spend money.
            • Possibly. Agreed. But until it's tried, that's speculation.

                        • I think the overall market is dwindling, and that is causing the used boat inventory to undercut builders
                          • One more link.... Pacific Seacraft 38 overview on Dream Catcher Yachts site
                        • Send it in checked luggage.
