Again, I have no issue with that boat and wish the seller well.
ALL of them have the same bulkhead you are referencing. The liner boats are a little smaller in that area because the liner has to be fitted around the bullhead when dropped in.
The biggest difference is aesthetics; no structural difference although pending options--one could be heavier than the other.

I guess we are talking about 2 different things then. Macklins old boat and also the boat you reference have no liner and have the support across the top. My boat as well as others with a liner do not.

Most importantly, again, I am not saying that one is better than the other. My wife is happy, I got a new toy.....life is good!


Pics below, Macklins old boat and mine.

Lately I'd agree. The wind has been the biggest issue though. And we know what that means on Lake Michigan.
