  2. intrepids

    Yeah, some boats have the dive door, but as a diver, I am really not impressed by a door that relies on nylon line to keep it in place while 300 pounds of diver and gear perches on it in a pitching sea.

    ...The thing that bothers me the most is the wiring. It is very well done from the factory, but once the boat is assembled, there is almost no access to the wiring in the console area. If you want to chage electronics or find a short, you better have long arms and tough fingers. Just for the heck of it, look at what it would take to replace a steering hose.

    The tensile strength of 3/8" nylon line is over 2500#.

    Also, all intrepids are wired AFTER the hull and deck are put together. There are two 4" PVC conduits running from all the way aft on my boat, right up to the bow, with breaks at the halfway point.
