[QUOTE="jtf, post: 444614, member: 22611"] I'm in the south US and looked at a bunch of metal hulls a few months ago, including those in this post. Finally settled on a used one, but overall, the only one I saw that held a candle in weld quality to northwest metal boats is the Alweld. I have had three Kofflers and a Hyde. There are plenty of high quality offerings from out west. Used to cost $650 to ship my last one, it's up to double that now. But what a difference in material and quality of construction! I bought a new "high end" 18/72 modvee jon a few years back, what a junker. Broke five poorly fabricated rib welds the second day on the water and the factory blew it off, won't use the brand name in this post, dealer quit them too. [/QUOTE]
