I have owned two Alumaweld and two Willie's so far. Honestly, I can't think of anything positive to offer you when it comes to Alumaweld. I think they are cheaply made in comparison.

I did have some issues with my last Willie's purchase. Some of the welds were sloppy and unfinished. Not a structural concern but pretty ugly anyways. I just don't want to drive all the way back down there for cosmetic concerns. If I had noticed I wouldn't have accepted the boat though. I would however purchase another one over an Alumaweld, mainly because I think they row better.

Good luck!
