I gotta disagree with Drac on this one! I rowed my Clack on the penn since 90, and just bought a new Willie in 2000. It is like night and day! I cant believe I rowed that slug for that long not knowing what I was missing in a Aluminum boat. The Clack rows good but dosent track even close to what the Willie does. And the Willie rows like a dream. Better than the clacl in ALL aspects. If your a big plugger you need to row both before you buy! If you just driftfish and sidedrift then it really dosent matter. I have not tried the tunnel hull though so who knows. And as far as fiberglass being as strong as aluminum...you should see the bottom of my Clack! No leaks!!! There warrenty is awesome though. All these companys will let you row one first. If they dont theres a problem. Dont go off opinions, go row some boats! If a Willie rows like hell there is a set up problem with the boat! Move the seats and find the sweet spot.
