Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B - Quality ??

[Kachadurian]

I've been seriously considering several boats and right now I''m leaning toward the Larson SEi 180 Ski Fish O/B with a 115 HP BRD e-Tec. I'm sure I want an outboard and there just aren't that many option out there.

I like the Larson because when you aren't fishing the seats can be stowed easily and it's more like a plush boat than one of the aluminum fish/ski boats.

But, I don't know anyone with a Larson that's less than 20 years old. How is the quality of today's Larson boats. The finish seems good, but how will it wear.

Is there another brand of boat I should consider in the 17-18' class that will take an outboard?

thanks for any ideas

Tom

I own a larson 180 All American 17'8" Boat. It is a 1994 Boat, equipped with an outboard 1994 Johnson SPL Motor.
The boat is in great shape cosmetically, and has wore pretty good. I am impressed with the quality of the boat as a whole, 13 years later. Hope this helps.
