Post by: Roadrunner on December 13, 2013, 07:15:02 AM: I remember, from a v-drive video production, a little snippet about Syndicate Boats. Started by Jimmy LaRicca, and in production for less than 10 years. Jimmy worked for a bunch of other builders and felt the itch (pun intended). He started building and racing his own boats. He did very well racing his v-drives. He didn't produce many boats, but the ones he did build were built very well. That's all I got! Good luck. I will see if I still have that video and post that piece.

Post by: Willow Wog on December 13, 2013, 07:46:54 AM: i dunno keith i'm not seeing sleekcraft, that rounded ass and single spectra-ish step looks unique. i dig it. reminds me a little of the rogers 20'. build that thing shes sweet. :beer: I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that the dude that owned syndicate is still in norcal somewhere and still has some of the molds and kicks flatties out of the mold when someone wants one. there was a really cool syndicate t-deck tunnel jet forsale on pb for awhile.

Post by: jim brock on December 20, 2013, 07:17:45 PM: this boat started out as a 18ft sleekcraft rebel, Dimarco built this mold, it was made a foot longer and a daycruiser type deck added, I was there when he was making the plug, they have a lot of rocker in them, need a place diverter, nice sleek looking cruiser, syndicate copyied it and started selling them.
