So what layout boat companies are still in business ? I know MLB is long gone, Core Sound are they still out there? Who are those guys in Washington State ? UFO appears to be doing well. How about Lock Stock and Barrel ? That "Whistler that they show looks mighty impressive. Anyone ever see one or hunt from one? Busik is long gone is is now in the UFO family. What else is out there?

Bankes makes some impressive looking layouts.... depends where you live since they are from Ontario and you'd
have to pay shipping...

Carsten makes boats that are sort of like a layout. I have a pintail I'd sell.

CARSTEN IS STILL IN BUSINESS. Now go build your own and quit asking silly questions that you don't want answered.

Seriously have you checked any of their web sites? Most of them are gone. Some are listed on facebook but that's it. A couple years ago the market was booming, with new boats popping up quite often. You look at MLB, they sold and then not even a year later they are gone. What happened? I'm just trying to pump some life into this forum. not looking for trouble....I am talking open water style layout.
