The alumacraft has thier Double Hull construction which sold me seeing as alot of ramps here dont have docks, or enough docks during busy times.

Halli, that silver thing on the front is actually the horn....sounds more like an angry hornets nest than a horn though. Lol

Im not making a sales pitch by no means, but Anderson Marine was great to work with. No pressure, no B.S.

See me out on the lake or river pull on up and say hi!

John, I love your boat especially the color and the graphics ! But I just wanted to reiterate the quality of the Aluma Craft ... Quality !! Mine is a 1994 (21 Years old, 2001Yama) But the boat is as solid as the day it rolled out of the factory ... Like you said double walled etc. My boat weighed in @ 1000 pounds dry ... Not motor, battery, or any accessories ... It was built to take the pounding of the great lakes ... Here is some pic's from an old post in 2013.. http://www.fishingtn.com/showthread.php?t=7376 .. I love your Boat ... <'TK>< :)

They dont give em away by no means, but unless i Titanic that thing, it should be floating for a long long time and thats the peace of mind we wanted.

There will be plenty of those this winter!

Very nice boat. Layout is very similar to mine and it works out perfect for me.

You don't see a lot of aluminum fish & skis around here but they are all over up north. Have had both glass and aluminum, but I far prefer the aluminum. I have a Polar Kraft sitting in my back yard that I grew up fishing in - starting back in the 1960s. My dad bought it used from a rental place, and it was old when he got it . Which means it has sat outside for the past SIXTY years and is still serviceable.

I like the tin boats. ;)

Again - Congrats!

Yeah i seen your post with your boat very recently! i looked at the Lowes as well, almost identical to yours. I love all the storage in it.

Awesome boat, went out on Superior last year on one very similar, loved it! so much room for activities haha...

The Cumberland gets trashed in nearly every thread here, but it is a clean body of water. From the OH dam to Cheatham, it is cleaner than OH Lake. The logs you see are usually from OHL. They go through the dam just like the numerous boats do.

ps Nice boat

Almost same here with my small river boat. Its an old polar kraft that was flipped over next to a pond that my dad's buddy used growing up. He gave it to us and I have since put oars on it with a 4hp from TK. Makes a mean Caney boat.

That's a purdy boat there bronzeback. I am partial to aluminum boats and you gotta nice one.
