Full Lotus???

[raderdude]

I'm interested in getting a new Lotus sled deck, but can not find the manufacturer on the net?

Very heavy decks. My buddies is almost twice the weight of my crosstrax. At least it feels like it when we move them. Lol

I love my Lotus and it’s been on my truck for the better part of two years. They made great products but were an absolute nightmare to deal with when it came to shipping. As far as I know, they went titties up.

If you look at them and take in account what it takes to build them it’s not that bad. All that tubing they bent and notch then welded would take a long time. Bet there’s 3X the man hours in there decks then anyone else on the market. But that’s why they couldn’t compete

M-line also makes a pretty snazzy deck. It sets a new price standard though. Crazy expensive.

I agree, by far the nicest deck I’ve seen. There’s just no way I could justify the price! I’ll keep my Marlon

I have a full lotus. I do like many things but there are a few things that piss me right off about it. I would go m-line next time even if full lotus was still around.

Doesn't sound like a great business model.

No it proved it wasn’t. But if you put there deck beside a cross track deck you can see why they cost so much more. Welding around that tubing and stuff is way more work the what the other guys do. People don’t see that when buying they just see the price and go from there.

pretty sure they just closed the doors and sold all the equipment for lack of profit
I heard they have another business running that is more profitable so they moved on to that
the decks they built were very sturdy as I have one that is 3 models before the curved tubing style
and has been super tough, the composite deck surface is still mint

Try building one yourself and see if 4k is out of line.

Step 1: Buy $5000 Welder.

A lot changed when the business changed hands the last time. I bought when it was built in the shop on the owner's property. Once he sold it to the last owners it got commercialized a lot more, bigger shop in town, more people working there, meaning more overhead. They changed some of the build for the better....but not worth the price point it went up to unfortunately. Love my flm deck, has held up awesome after 5 yrs.

Like others said, it was one of those "you get what you pay for" deals. I believe I bought my Full Lotus deck in 2011 and the only welding I've ever had to do on it were two small tabs on the back of each retractable side that the decking was screwed to. The decking expanding and contracting going in and out of my heated garage made the small tabs crack and break. Other than that, not one structural crack in that amount of time. There's things on it I wish they did differently, but all in all, it is an awesome product.
