Leopard 45 or 50

There is a U-Tuber that purchased a brand new Leopard and had nothing but issues and the manufacturer is being very unresponsive. Not a good sign.

I think it depends on how the warranty is handled. We've dealt with a lot of warranty issues through Leopard, and the vast majority are handled very professionally once you go through the right channels. Can't say the same for other manufacturers we've worked with. Not all.. but some are truly terrible, Leopard is definitely better than most.

I'm often hesitant to judge a company harshly based on a one-sided story on social media. Often there are additional relevant details that have been omitted by the story teller.

A person can hear great and horrible experiences out there with every company. I think Leopard has a good reputation in dealing with issues. They certainly have a large base of boats to support.

I bought my boat used with no known issues and no expectation of factory support.
