Thanks for the replies. Some of my concerns whether it be made in USA or elsewhere is the difficulty of a refit. Do I have easy access to tanks and is it easy to replace or clean out or do I have to rip the floors out or cut a hole someplace I really don't want one.Are the motors easily worked on or replaced. Deck leaks and window leaks, seems there are quite a few boats out there that either need to have the teak decks removed or have already removed them and glassed them over. So I continue the quest and simply because there are way more import boats out there, the odds are I can find one to my liking. We have all struggled with the purchase of the ideal boat, I'm just trying to avoid some of the pitfalls that are out there. I too drive Fords and Toyotas, all of our big work trucks are Isuzu's. I have nothing against foreign anything. Just lookin for a boat I can enjoy for the next twenty years.
