I understand what you are saying, but you couldnt be more wrong. I heard your story before and I hate it for the person you knew, but bear in mind that was a NEW Robalo. Just like the newer Wellcrafts dont compare to the older ones it is the same for these. I wouldnt own a new Wellcraft for nothing, but the older ones like we all love so much are solid boats. *;)


This boat of his is rock solid. I have been all through it and I know this to be a fact. I never would have recommended (let alone helped him) with the transom job and putting all that $$ into it if it wasnt worth it. Comon, you know me better than that...gimme some credit. ::)


Oh and Ive been in some genuine 6'ers in this boat and NEVER felt compromised.
