Bob, I am sorry to here that you did not like Deans boat, That one was built by John, the former owner. It was his first big one. They how ever do make an outstanding boat and Mike and Dean have been doing it for along time. If anyone would like a demo trip or a price quote please feel free to contact me. I absoluteley love my new 16 ft guide model, it rows great and tracks better than any other boat made because of there new heavy duty concaved chine that they had designed. This will be my third thorbuilt drift boat. And this one is outstanding. I kept my old trailer with it because I liked how light it was and also how pretty it is. They still have aluminum trailers availible, but are out sourcing them because thwey do not have time to build trailers, they would rather build boats. Thanks Superfly
