my best bud has one and really likes it, it's a great aluminum boat and he has it set up well, but he also says he'd rather have my lowe! his is a few years old but doesn't have front and back livewells and isn't as wide, and his came with a motor guide that my minn kota maxxum can smoke!! but it is still a good solid boat but i'd at least look at the lowe before you buy, just my op.
