Northriver/Almar makes one hell of a boat. Saltwater boats with 1/4" hulls require horsepower. Not all "saltwater" boats are created equal, and if it "goes" with minimal HP, there is a reason for that. I personally like Pacific Boats, but I could go the Northriver/Almar route very easily. The waterfall fleet has an older fleet of Almar boats. Those boys push those boats to the limit.
