TJN:

Resale value???? Lot's of "name brand" boats that just can't get sold. Some of the newer boat builders are adding more custom features that sportsmen want: gas tanks under floor, wash down pumps, running lights, fish boxes, batteries moved "upfront" for weight distribution.

I agree.....North River builts a heck of a boat, but still a "stamped out boat"....

Woolridge would have been my choice in 97 BUT they didn't want to built a 15'6" that had a 60" bottom, but then neither did most of the others. Thorbuilt is another boat that I considered but a little on the "spendie side".

Have a good day!!!!!
