I agree with Silver Hilton, if your looking at a inboard v-8 style boat or a larger boat I would seriously look at North River. They had a price that was better than Alumaweld and to be honest a beter built boat. I ordered mine they way I wanted and they delivered it 3 week earlier than the scheduled date. If your looking at an open style like the super vee alumaweld seams to be the leader. I just wish I could have bought my North River from 3 Rivers, would have been the best of both worlds. If you can wait you can really squeeze some price out at the sportsman shows, all the sled builders are there and they know this year is a little tight, so it might be worth it.
