    Default Alumacraft Boats


    Looking at buying a new Alumacraft 165 Prowler, any Alumacraft Owners out here, good, bad or opinions before I pull the trigger?

    I have a '14 Classic 165 CS (console) and really like it. Deep V works great for me while trolling.

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    2009 Pro 175, nice boat, wish I could trade it for a newer model. They have switched some storage, equipped with two up seats in front and set it up for 3 batteries. Its on a Heritage trailer, would not own another one of those

    I have a 1860SC with 90 Yamaha. Similar layout to Prowler. Very pleased with mine. Get the 175 if you can swing it.

    I have owned 11 boats in my years, Rangers, Pro craft, Fisher Marine & Aluma Craft 17' - I love my AC!

    Well, I have three of them in my barn right now. A 165 fisherman CS I purchased new and sold to my buddy when I upgraded. A 175 Competitor sport I utilize for tournament fishing, and a 175 Dominator sport I helped my dad get. Simply put, I do look at other boats, other companies, other models... just so that I can compare to the Alumacraft boat. With the competitor and the Dominator, I could have purchased any boat I wanted... I looked at a bunch of different ones on the market (comparable models) and never found one that came close to being as good.

    Fit and finish is outstanding. The company only manufactures boats under one name. They stand by their products. Industry leaders in 2xb hulls, splash rails, and so on. Their prices are usually better than other companies. All contribute to why I own, purchase, and will continue to purchase boats from them!

    I have an Alumacraft Navigator 175 Sport and I love it. Well built, well thought out layouts, good finish. I would definitely buy another one.
