lokidog- I am going to get the upgraded top so hopfully it won't have that issue. Thanks for the tip on the corroding items. I looked at the Hews, but just can't quite reach the price point and still be cool with the wife. I am pushing it as is.

Huntnphool- I choose the 20 because of the extra space and the differance between the 18 and 20 is only $1000 bucks.

I was just wondering why you were limited to only 20'

Don't skimp on the power or the trailer.

I understand the price point deal. We found ours as a three year old "used" one owned by two guys in a row over 70. Of course a week later a 21' North River came up at about the samew price point.

You definitely do not need over a 90hp with that. What is the upgraded top? I've been thinking about building a ply and glass hard top for mine.

H-7, I like the custom frame around that canopy.

Loki- its the dura frame top, it has a full skeleton and a thicker canvas than the standard. you can kinda see it in the pic.

It looks nice. Hopefully it has that zipper issue figured out. I have to wear raingear to take my daughter to school in the rain or my leg and arm are soaked by the time I do the 6 mile round trip. I'll post pics

Here is my 2008 Weldcraft Maverick. I have no complaints about Weldcraft, they are made by the same company as Duckworth. They use some of the thickest aluminum on the market. It has a true Deep V, which rides very smooth compared to other aluminum boats. Weldcraft comes standard with a 7’ beam, others you have to custom order. I did a lot of research before buying my boat. I looked at Hewes, Alumaweld, North River, and Thunder Jet, before deciding on the Weldcraft. If I could offer one piece of advise, have your boat outfitted at the time of purchase. It took me a couple years to set my boat up the way I wanted. I saved money, but lost a couple fishing seasons out of it. Alumaweld builds a good boat for the money.
