18' XPRESS Utility or 18"Lowe Roughneck?

[hooterville]

I have ran across a dealer that sells XPRESS SV18U utility boats within a couple of hours drive. His Boat and trailer package without motor are about
$500 cheaper than a Loweroughneck 1860 Vpt. Price really isn't a factor....but the Lowe is closer drive.
Which boat would be the better boat Hull constructed wise? Both are about what i am looking for in a new boat as far as bells and whistles.

It's all personal preference. Myself, I would go for the Lowe. Brand recognition means alot when you're thinking of resell as well as the availability of a decent dealer network.
