What are your pros and cons to the boat?
Thanks
G just bought one.
Know several folks that have them, havent heard any complaints
my father in law has one and another guy at our camp and like creek said G just bought one...haven't heard any cons from any of them, just pros
This is the one I have SeaArk Boats - Forecast 170C It is not made for 2 people to fish up front, but is excellent for me because everyting is right at my fingertips, look at the layout and you will see. I went to several factories before I chose the SeaArk, they are solid, and have an excellent ride as well and much more. They offer several models that would fit a wide varity of situations. See the one G bought, it's great..
Sure like my 16.5' SeaArk, it's a good strong well built boat. Mine is a 2004 and I fish a lot. Haven't had any problems with leaks or any other real problems other than the regular upkeep you have to do to any boat that gets used a lot. I'd buy another one, I've seen the other aluminum boats and I think mine is a better made boat. Been thinking about talking the wife into letting me buy a used Ranger. I'd have to figure out a way to get a bigger truck to pull that Ranger too. I wonder why she keeps saying it's all about you...lol.
I have a 2003 1648 I use to duck hunt that thang is tough we have drove it up trees over rocks everything and it's pretty beat up but don't leak and if I ever tear it up I will get another.
I have one and it has been a good one. My wasn't a package boat, I built the front deck bigger with aluminum and carpeted the entire boat and put the trolling motor and the outboard on it. I originally built it for green carp fishing but it works well for Crappie.
I just bought a Sea Ark XV180.....I love it. Attachment 60716
I had a plain jane 1852 MV, new in '97 sold in '06. Tough, solid boat, nice welding .100 everywhere and well braced.
Wish sometimes I'd a kept it, especially when we're using the boat to get to a hunting area.

This is my 2000 ZX170, I bought it new and it still looks new. I only had 2 big issues and SeaArk addressed them very prompt. Within the 2nd year, the paint started pealing off the bottom and within 2 weeks of reporting it, they had arranged to have it totally repainted....and 11 years later the boat still looks practically new. The second happened about 3 years after purchase, nd really wasn't Searks problem but they were very instrumental...the problem was a weak axle on the trailer. It was wearing the inside of mytires. THey helped work to get the entire axle and tires replaced NO CHARGE! This boat has a 90 merc on it and has a LOT of use on the whole rig and I am Very pleased w/ the support and the boat. That's my youngest daught and fishin partner waiting on me...and just for giggles...here's some proof that me, her and the Seark can locate a crappie;)(It's a pic I've posted before but it was handy cause I already had it uploaded:))
"G" I like your new rig!
