            Be sure you google first (even searching here). Caveat emptor.

                  Email Oliver S at H&M. I bought my Viper directly from him. Great guy. He even included a bar of German chocolate with my boat!

                    Yes! Yes! Dont fear the distance. At least you will get your boat. It might come slow, H&M close their doors during our summer months but you will not get charged for a product that you will have to fight for. Chris was a good service provider at one time. His customer service over the last few years has much to be desired. I am not going to bad mouth him because I still respect the man for what he has contributed to FE. Go to the source even if it costs a bit more.

                      A friend here and a OSE member ordered a hull from Fine this past winter, the hull arrived without a hatch, he had to phone Fine and the reply was that an employ stepped on it and he would order one from H&M. Time went on and after another phone call the same answer was given that he would order him the hatch and ship it out in a few weeks. To this day that hatch never arrived and was never ordered according to a email from H&M after explaining the situation.

                          There has been much discussion about this company. I bought my first FE boat ions ago from this company and I purchased 2 other H&M hulls and the last purchase was about 4 years ago and none of the experiences were pleasureable, but I did get the goods, would I recommend them? No.
                          As John mentioned at one time they were one of few propenents of FE boating and supported local/national events. Those were their summer days and it is sad to see what has trespassed.
