[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 112208, member: 412"] My problem with Crestliner is their long-term customer service. Other than the leaking which lead to rotten transom, my fish hawk was great to fish out of and other than the transom, I didn't have any other "boat" related problems. Glass will ride better and be dryer than AL. I'm on my 2nd glass boat and doubt I'll go back to AL. I routinely beach mine on sand/gravel. I've never beached any boat on "rocks". If Yar Craft still makes the 186 FSX you should throw that in the mix as well as an 1850 Ranger Reatta and Sub-Elect would be apoplectic if you don't at least look @ the 18.5' Nitro. I'd go Yamaha or Suzuki or Honda over Merc but it's because Merc and Crestliner are joined @ the hip and I refuse to spend one more $$ with Brunswick. [/QUOTE]
