Saw one separate the top and bottom halves on a rough day in Parker Az.

Bunch of screws hanging out - sticking in all directions. Not good.

I think the worst I have seen in person was Sunbird from the 80's to 1991 with the OMC I/O Cobra and Stringer drive apps. Currently would have to say especially 15 years to current any Tracker Product including their Tahoe Family runaboats. Performance end some of the stuff in the 80's was bad quality.

Did those have a stepped hull? I saw one once and couldn't tell if it did or I was drunk. (both?)

40 Profile
 

interesting as my experience with a 40' Profile has been excellent! Built tough and the best easy planing VHull ever experienced. Been doing this since before Poker Runs ever heard of! Turns on a dime, gives you a nickel. Comes up easy with almost no bow lift, runs the rough way better than any Fountain. A very comfortable ride right up to the big, big stuff. so easy up on plane , lost a fuel pump years back, figured here we go home at 5 knots, she came up on plane dragging an XR with a 28 Bravo prop and home we came at 50 knots on one engine. Not many big VHulls or any Cats I know can do that. 10 year use from her so far, and not the quickest boat on the water, but the smoothest. an easy rider! If you can find one, try her out....accelerates like a Rolls Royce.

How about any offshore boat that cannot sit in the water a few days without the transom and/or stringers getting wet.
