I started out with a Fisher Marine and 25 tiller steer. I had a small Lund Deep V for a short while, took it on trade. I fished a Lowe with a 40HP main engine and 6HP side kick for years. The side kick was for HP limited lakes. I lived in VA and fished Briery Creek when they first opened it. Of course three years ago I swapped from glass back to the RT188. So far the RT is the only aluminum boat that hasn't leaked. All the others were riveted boats.
I'm WAY more familiar with glass since I've had a litany of them since 1982. We had others not listed when I was growing up.
