aluminum boats

[kyrich]

Thinking about buying a new aluminum boat and been looking at a seaark stealth or a xpress anyone have any input pro's or con's.What would you buy if you where in the market for a aluminum boat?

Seaarks??? I know Xpress is an allweld, no wood. I've owned 2 and kept both for 15+ yrs each. Never had any probs with the structure, etc. No leaks. I just upgraded to a 18' Triton "TS18" (Alum) also all weld, no wood, am very satisfied with it. Fwd & aft livewell is very nice. Catch em & drop in livewell directly behind bow seat.

I have a 165cs Alumacraft and just love it, wide, deep, put a 75hp 4s,on it and it is great, but you might not want a deep V, it"s great for my 4 yr.old grandbaby , she has lots of room to walk around ,and yes she loves to fish

I was a boat dealer for several years and I think SeaArk is a very good boat for the money. Very similar to War Eagle. Alumacraft builds some good boats also. I recently looked long and hard and bought a new Alweld out or Arkansas. They will do custom builds to suit you and the quality is outstanding. Good luck in your choice

I have a 16'x 48'' Aluma-Weld same as Express. It is 23 years old and has been great.
Look at this builder a small all welded boat manufacturer. He is small enough to do custom boats. I fish with the owner and some of his help. They are great folk that stand behind their products.:D

I owned a SeaArk 170zx for about 3 years. It was very well made and had a great ride. It rode better than my 20' WarEagle that I have now. You can't go wrong with either brands you are looking at in my opinion.

i have rode in a seaark and wareagle and they are both very nice boats but i wouldnt trade my 2096mv Polar Kraft for anything....nice smooth ride and a dry ride in ruff water...for as big and heavy as the boat is it doesnt sit very deep in the water at all

If you're looking for a good ride buy glass!

Fiberglass baots do have the best ride for size of boat. I went bigger and heavy years ago and love the smoother ride.

SeaArk is an excellent boat.. But I have to agree with crappiekillerjigs. The Polarkraft 2096MV is the ultimate boat.. I love mine.
