[QUOTE="Bluega, post: 468787, member: 25105"] Hi, I'm looking at buying a Princecraft Pro 162, 164, or 166 built in the early to mid 2000's (I'm in Ontario Canada and there are a bunch here). I plan to use it mostly as a skiing and camping trip boat (I like aluminum because it is light and durable). I could get a newer legend for the same price, but I've read that Princecraft is a better boat. I'm hoping someone here might be able to answer some questions for me: - How do these boats handle and feel in choppy water compared to other 16' aluminum fishing boats from this era? - How well do these boats hold up compared to other popular aluminum fishing boats in this size? - Is there any particular features or flaws I should be keeping an eye out for when choosing one? - Are they filled with foam to keep them from sinking and do you think this is likely to have held up over the years? - Are these too old of boats to bother with? Maybe I should be looking at the newer 164 sport instead. - Any other input? Thanks, Bluega [/QUOTE]
