are dusky boats any good?

Pros- easy to clean, non skid is awesome, solid, no gimmicks to break, dusky drive, very dry for size, smooth. Their great boats for fishing throw a couple bean bags in the back and your good to go. I've owned 3, and definitely not POS. All have been older and they are heavy built with lots of glass.

At that time Norris Craft was one of the best boats on the market. ... The boats are now a thing of the past. They are still a good looking boat, but they arent designed well and just arent up to par with the Rangers and Skeeters out there.

Final comments. There's no doubt about it, the Ballast Trafalgar Valiant is certainly a lot of watch. I think the look and feel of it will only appeal to specific people, but for those who appreciate a big, over-engineered and designed watch then it's a good option.

If you like her, Atago is basically an improved, more comfortable to play version (especially thanks to concealment and heal). As long as you don't sail full broadside it's very tanky, too. the atago is very strong but with a very high skill ceiling/steep skill curve. ... Atago is definitely worth getting.

All in all, it's a good boat at a great price, but it's not as tricked out as the competition. The Four Winns 190 Horizon screams top quality any way you look at it, but it has the highest sticker price of those reviewed. It gets good marks for its fiberglass deck and cockpit with molded nonslip.

No, Carolina Skiffs do not as a rule offer the smoothest ride foot-for-foot. And yes, their relatively flat transoms can lead to some pounding in a head sea. (Can you find a 19-footer that never does?) But on the flip side, these boats are about as stable as they come and require mere ankle-deep water to float.

Quality and resale is above average for production boats. Carver is notorious for making the most useable space out of the interior. Very roomy boats. Many of their designs sacrafice looks for interior space as a matter of fact, but the Santego you are looking at is a great combination of styling and layout.

Overall Cruisers makes a nice boat. It's got a great reputation and people tend to consider them as a cut above Sea Ray, which is also a nice boat. What I found particularly attractive to many buyers is that aft cabin with en suite head.

For many the job they do isn't worth that money, which is fine. Bait boats are definitely considered a "luxury" for your angling but, love 'em or hate 'em, they are here and here to stay. A number of carp fisheries do not allow them to be used but an equal number now do.

Their meat is eaten, their skin is used as leather and it's liver for oil. Due to their large size, they are also targeted by recreational fishermen as a sport fish. On a global scale, dusky shark populations are considered at-risk, and the IUCN assessing these animals as Vulnerable (VU).

Old Town Canoes are not the best. But they are good and usually are good values. ... Old Town, Scotty, and several other manufacturers make canoe stabilizers that work very well.

gonzo Senior Member. They are well built boats. One of the places to check is the deck under the mast step. It is a usual place for water intrusion and rot.

Overall these boats have very shallow draft and average beam, attributes that make them perfect for day cruising, watersports and freshwater fishing Given their classic, crowd-pleasing status as a popular, established boat brand, used Forester boats in good condition often make great candidates for boat repowering ...

They have fantastic quality in their standard amenities, in comparison to other boats of the same price-point. These boats are known to be spacious, even if you decide to buy one of their smaller 16' or 17' fishing boats. Polar Kraft boats are well built and strong and can stand the test of time.

While they don't bite into mud or sand a lot, they perform great on wet surfaces. The tires corner well in both dry and wet conditions. They work well on trucks, so if you want a softer ride, adjust the speed and you will get it.

They are a good hull for reloading. They are a one piece hull like the old compression formed AAs. Should be able to load them 8 or 10 times with the lighter target loads.
