I knew nothing about them either before buying mine a year ago. What I can tell you is that they are well built boats. Fiberglass floors, drop out bolsters, kiekhaefer controls, electric engine lift, 105 gallon fuel tank, huge engine compartment (easy to work on the motor), thru transom exhaust, nice rigging etc etc. I have been very impressed with the build quality. Ive also been VERY impressed with the ride that this boat offers. 23 degree transom deadrise and it handles ANYTHING I can throw at it (5 footers are easy to go thru). I only hit 55 mph with a single 454 mag and bravo 1 but Ill take it. Very reliable package.
