I have spent a good amount of time on OLDER _. Sea racks, Crestliners, Lund, and Allwelds, hell even a Tracker (unusual for a guide to have a tracker boat).

I thought the sea ark plug was the live well it had so much water in it... it really caused me some “holy crap” moments.
The crestliner had soaked foam and was so heavy it wasn’t funny.
The tracker had some in it... As well as the all weld.
The lund was dry..

BTW - any resort boat being used like a rental, or an outback boat used in alaska is going to get the snot beat out of it.

90% of guys who buy new boats don’t beat the crap out of them ... so these are two different situations.
