[QUOTE="sierra1995, post: 224170, member: 1059"] I went from a 1785 Yar single console down to a pro angler 16 lund tiller. I mostly fish the river around bismarck, sometimes will head to Oahe or Sak. I probably miss the dryness most out of anything. My lund is wider and heavier than the yarcraft was, so i can't really tell roughness from the drivers seat. i'm sure passengers will say its rougher. I also had issues with the floor of the yarcraft getting soft, looking into it more they did not treat the bottom side of the plywood floor so it was exposed to high moisture and water whenever there was water in the bilge. I think most fiberglass boats corrected this around 2006. I also had spider cracks in the gel, rock chips up front, etc. For my next boat, i'm thinking that i'll stay with aluminum, most likely a 17 or 18' lund or alumacraft tiller. But if a warrior 1890, backtroller avid, or something similar in glass comes up for sale, i will consider going back to glass. [/QUOTE]
