I'm no "tin boat" expert, but when it comes to Fiberglass, Lavro driftboats hold their value throughout the years. Hydes and Clacks just get too beat up because they don't handbrush the fiberglass layers in w/ the resin.

If you buy a Lavro for $6,000, you can often get $6,000 for it when you sell it 10 years down the road. Sure $6,000 in ten years isn't worth $6,000 now but they hold their value. We floated the Missouri River last year in a hyde and glanced off a big rock. It not only scratched, but it gouged! I've NEVER seen a Lavro do that.
