I have had a Lavro for six years and love it. Their shop is in Monroe, across the street from the main entrance to the Penitentiary. These boats are hand made not just sprayed into a mold like cheaper glass boats. One thing about Lavro boats is that they sell used for almost the same price as a new boat so why not buy new? Go out and talk to Ron and have him build you a boat to your specs as far as locking compartments, deck heights, bow platforms etc. Go with a 16 foot "Lazy Drifter" for a little over $3K. I've taken mine down the Sole Duc in low water and managed NOT to miss every rock with no problems.
