[QUOTE="Sub_Elect, post: 207061, member: 1014"] I'm around. I cant answer the question about having more or less engineering built into the hull versus a Ranger. It is heavier then a Ranger. Not quite as fast but you can get them close. As far as fit and finish, the only thing that chaps my ass is the fit of the glove box door and how visible the wiring under the dash is when your standing outside the boat. I can say is I love my boat and I have used the hell out of it. I have 182 hours on the Verado in 2 years and it has been an awesome rig and an amazing motor. Its been flawless in the rough water and never lands hard on big waves which means I can run faster, smoother and dryer then a lot of the competition. As far as factory support, I go through Fargo Boat Center and they have been nothing short of amazing. They answer my questions promptly and have addressed any concerns as soon as I bring them to their attention. I haven't needed to take the boat to them because, well I haven't had any issues. If someone has a gripe with Nitro its because they haven't been in one or run against one. There are a lot of them showing up and there are going to be many more of them around in the years to come (in my opinion). I would still like to see a 20' option with a 300 but who knows. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] As far as resale, which gets brought up every time there are these threads, riddle me this. How can a boat that was purchased new for 90k and gets sold 2 years later for 70k have worse resale then a boat purchased new for 80k and sells 2 years later for 60k? Example above is Ranger vs any of the other manufacturers. IDK, maybe I am shitty at running a calculator, but my feeble little mind shows them both loosing 20k in 2 years, yet Ranger some how has better resale?! [/QUOTE]
