I think the hard edges of the Express were too harsh
for many and while the Express looks C&Cish, I don't think it's as attractive.
Below decks C&C was doing a very nice job in the mid 80s and the Express did
not win over many people below decks, especially families.

LOL............................ Where do you get this stuff???? Were you at
boat shows at the time interviewing people? I'd be willing to bet that in say
1984 Express sold more boats than C&C. Why don't you check that out.

The Boobster is the guy the reps chuckle at at the boat show. He's the nitwit
that gets on every boat sticks his head down the companionway and blurts out
"how many will she sleep"

Nope, but I broker boats and talk to a lot of sailors. The Express isn't
popular for it's looks.
Period.

LOL........................... Now this nitwit calls himself a boat broker.
I thought he was a wedding video taker or was it ebay broker. Just goes to
prove anybody can be a boat broker.

None and I've only ever seen TWO in 10 years. The captain of the J30 I sail
often joked (after seeing one) that he was glad of a boat uglier than his 30!

But you said everyone you talked to said they were ugly as if you were showing
them weekly. Then you said no one you talked to has ever seen one. Then you

Everyone who's seen one did say they were ugly. Most folks haven't even heard
of the company. Can you see that these two facts are independent?
Guess not.

Yes I can. If most folks haven't seen one that leaves around 2 people who
thought they were ugly. You and one of the streetpeople babes you pick up on
42nd street.
