Realistically I'm probably 3-5 years away from buying a new welded aluminum boat but I've started researching makes/models.
So that leads to my 1st question. I want a new soft top 16-18ft outboard model. Is there a site that reviews/compares all the manufacturers?
I see there's all different side and bottom thicknesses, is thicker always better (lol).
Is there much negotiation room on the price. I see packages for 16ft Hewescraft with motor/trailer for 40k. Would you be able to get several thousand off that price?
And finally, is there really any difference in quality between Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda outboards?
Thanks
