I have to put my two cents in for Willie. They make a great boat, the way you want it. They will customize anything. A note on re-sale, Willie's name recognition is second to none when it comes to re-sale. I sold my last Willie boat in less than a day, for a fair price. I have a new 17x54 in the garage now. The best thing I can say is to re-state their logo "Simply...The Best". With an emphasis on "Simple". Ask the local guides why so many of them choose Willie. The only downer is the drive to Central Point Sucks!!!

I looked long and hard at Alumaweld. Especially since Willie worked for them at one time. I like their boats, and have always had good luck with Three Rivers. The only downside there was a 4 month wait for a boat and less customization. Willie custom built mine in 6 weeks.
