I bought a Northriver two years ago and love it. Both for Salt and for the rivers. 115 Yammie you can't go wrong. I don't know how the sevice dept is because I have had no issues with the boat or motor. I guess that could tell you something about the product. When I compared the
alumaweld with the NR, NR had better storage, thicker alum. built stronger and was a lot cheeper.

My 2 cents good luck
