My friend Jamie has a 28' Aerotek. Excellent hull design, very well built. The company had some financial issues and went belly up, with some customers still hanging I think.

That is true I met a guy at the Key West Worlds who got caught up in those financial problems. It later put him in divorce court.

I remember some mags in the late 80's or early 90' said positive things about the branf. Sorry no more help than that. If it's the boat I'm thinking of, it looks real nice...

This is a comment by Todd on the offshoreonly.com forum. Read and learn.
"Well Ive posted alot on the subject of AeroTek before so Ill keep this short. Bob Zanine the former owner of the company that built AeroTek was a total complete CROOK. At the time that the bank he was dealing with came in and shut him down there were 10 unfinished hulls and 2 copleted boats. I was suppose to have a 33' w/ 502's in it. I got taken for a loan of 90k. the guy supplied the bank with boggus MSO and builders certs and engine serial numbers that he used for half a dozen other people. He would take an almost completed boat and show it to several differnet people claiming it was theres. I lost about 50k in the whole mess.
Zanine went out of business back in Oct of 95. The molds got sold off and i heard other people tried to put together a company to build them. Just a few years ago someone in LOTO had several of the repossed boats that he bought from the bank and others that got the bare hulls and finished a few off. Don't know where the molds are now or who's trying to do what.
The last few years of Aero Teks (93 - 95) were not very good boats. Many problems with some of them. I always liked the lines of the boat and I think they could be a potentially a great offshore boat in the right builders hand."
