Your right WRO, I agree. I also believe that most AW's are great, and have some outstanding fishing features.
I kinda like the idea, that if I'm gonna make the purchase on a big river boat, that it will be built on the strongest platform in the industry, (such as a .250 one peice hull instead of a .190" or thinner). Strongest, is a relative term ofcourse.
Any way, nice boat TH. Hope it works well for you and you kids.

Off to fish.
