djohnson5198 Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Hey guys, been several years since I've been on the forum. I recently sold my 04 Redfisher 18 after 13+ years of joy and picked up an HPXV18. I debated for several years on the new rig and went back and forth several times. My increasing passion for fly fishing kept driving me to something with a shallower draft and light enough to pole comfortably. Ultimately the final two came down to HB Marquesa and HPX. I'm certain I'd have been happy with either as they are both great boats. The Maverick won the battle and came home with me a couple weeks ago. Still getting her dialed in and figuring out how and where I like my gear stored but I've been nothing but pleased so far. Glad to be a second time Maverick Boat company owner and looking forward to many years of making new memories in this beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geeviam Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 She is a beauty! All of it is - the boat, the truck, the garage, and the redfish on fly. Looks like you appreciate the finer things. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Nice rig, congratulations. I was going to ask you how that Ritchie bulkhead compass works for you and if it showed a true heading because I am interested in getting one. However I confirmed that by looking at your pictures and found that the compass and GPS are dead on to each other. Thanks!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 This is a great example of what brand loyalty can do. I sometimes wonder if MBG really understands the power of this forum and the value of those folks who buy their boats second hand. I know that I started with an 87 MA and fell in love with the MBG brand. I found this forum and it only strengthened that loyalty. I ended up selling that 87 and upgrading to a 2000. Eventually, someday, when kids are off to college, I'll buy a new boat, but there will probably be a few more newer and newer "old" boats between now and then. Every company will treat a new buyer well, it's stupid not to. But when a company treats a non-original owner like a new boat buyer, stands behind their product even when they don't have to, and is as eager to provide support on older models as they are new ones, they are growing the next crop of new-boat owners.
