Lots of good boats to choose from. I've owned several over the years, the SeaArk was without a doubt the stoutest. Have since transitioned to a deep V, my choices were narrowed down to alumacraft or lund. Ended up buying a lund, had the alumacraft dealership gotten back with me regarding my questions it probably would have been alumacraft due to the multiple choices for engine brands. The 16' deep V alumacraft classic is hard to beat for the money. In the end I purchased a lund alaskan deep v 16' tiller..........love it.
