We have two Willie Boats. Had a sled for 10 years and just bought a drift boat. The fit and finish of both our boats is very well done. We have had no problems with any of the welds or paint. We have never had any problems with the constuction of any Willie Boat we have owned or that have been owned by someone we know. Many of the river guides that we know also choose to own Willie Boats above other available brands in our area. My brother also has two Willie Boats (a sled and a driftboat). We have always been treated fairly and respectfully by the employees at Willie Boats.
