Reply To: v bottom boat

Hi Tinman;
I suggest a Delta / Gregor welded aluminum if available in your area. They are / were made in central CA; don’t know how far west you are. They have a nice, sharp bow; we take my Dad’s 18′ out in the ocean on a regular basis. They handle rough water and big waves very well.
I have a Lund; and feel they some of the best aluminum boats on the planet. Mine is old, and the bottom flattens out near the stern; not ideal for big water. But Lunds are tough and respected, far and wide. I’m told they’re the hull of choice in lots of remote Alaskan villages.
Best of luck in your search.
Have fun, and happy motoring!
Alan
