Hi Bill
All the information that you have received concerning this topic is great. That's what makes this forum a great place to visit. You get various inputs from different angles which is vital in making a boat buying decision. In my experience during the two year crusade to decide what boat to purchase I found that the value for the dollar does not always equate to quality. Bottom line you need to be happy with what you buy, ask questions, test drive, and ask more questions. Good luck! Happy boating!
