My opinion is that boats these days are too fat. By that I mean too heavy. The claim made here is that these boats are light. Well, my 1987 18ft. Glastron, still running strong, weighs 1350 lbs, w/o motor. How much does this 18 footer in the video weigh? I bet almost a half of a ton more. As for quality, I agree the quality in these new boats is fantastic. Mine is terrible by comparison. Mine has only lasted 36 years so far. That was meant sarcastically, as 36 years is pretty darn good. In any case my guess is that these new ones will probably last 100 years. btw I own 3 Glastrons (but not the fat ones).
I worked there from 2000 to 2008 and I think it's just a shame 20 years later they closed and are making wabash trailers! RIP Rick Evenson!
