Look at the build quality compared to the 'cookie cutter' production boats. One of the few makers of the real 'hardcore' West coast rugged boats (you know what I mean, Ss, lifetimer, Daigle, ironwood - that type) . If you saw the silver streak at the boat show. You know what I mean. Self bailing. 1/4" Hull. And proper reverse chine Hull entry design... Once you buy a battle-tank like that, or at least look, and research a proper built alloy boat like that, you wonder why you would ever go with a shallow-entry Hull cookie cutter hewes or North river cheaper model (well, because they're cheap) like that in the first place. They're fine boats for around here, but coming from one, I know how they pound through the chop, and roll through that Damn Georgia straight chop we get. Brutal! Nothing like a proper Hull design
The difference is clear! Do your research. You get what you pay for!
