[QUOTE="AaronJ, post: 206993, member: 1109"] Boats and boat owners are fickle beasts. Helping at boat shows I have found that owners and manufacturers are very "cult-like". Many guys refuse to look at the obvious positives AND negatives of brands other than what they run. There are many decent boats out there. Skeeter, Lund, Ranger, and Yar are great high end boats. Mid range boats (glass) that are capable include Larson, Stratos (now defunct), and Sylvan (missed a few for sure). Pick your poison. Find a layout that you like. Do you like speed, dry, lifetime hull warranty? Are you wanting Merc, Yammie, Suzi, etc because the boat you pick may dictate that choice. I like my Yars for many reasons. They are less wet than many, well built, fast, track well, and arent cookie cutter (no color option A, B, C, etc). The factory support is amazing. Beyond the boat, I feel I have a dealer that is second to none. Great purchase process, great service after the sale, and a couple amazing mechanics (not just guys that plug a wiring harness into a computer). As much as I love my Yars, if my dealer went a direction other than Yar I would have to think long and hard about making a move to the boat line they move to. [/QUOTE]
