Thanks, sounds like good customer service. A little out of my price range

Would love a 28 skater
But they are way out of my price range. Debating between an outboard or a stern drive boat. What are advantages and disadvantages

There are quite a few used Profile 28s out there in the $50-$60 range. Going of memory the Profile Cat is the old Redline hull which was a great hull. One of the best looking cats IMO also but that is subjective.
