I work at the university and we use WeldCraft boats and these hulls are really beaten due to the lack of experience of the operators. We use these hulls to teach boat handling skills classes and also have the students doing their research use them. They really take a beating and keep coming back for more. You can deal with Richard at Portland Marine and they can get one anyway you want it set up and he will guide you through your selection process. Hope to have helped.

Aluminum boats make way more noise thus scaring the fish off. Plus they get hot in direct sunlight....just a couple of drawbacks. _________________ -STAY THIRSTY MY FRIENDS!- |

I think the solution to that would be to paint them with white durabak. |
