Re: Opinions on old boat
Fishman66,<br /><br />I worked at a Stuery dealer in the mid seventies, when I was a teenager. The dealer I worked for was VERY particular about what he would sell and Stuery was the only f-glass boat they offered. He was approached by many manufacturers during my tenure.<br /><br />The boats were very well constructed, albeit somewhat heavy. If it is a deep vee, they tended to be a bit of a handfull when "stuffed" into a wave. Much of that could be corrected by trimming the engine correctly. They also had a wide flare of the bow which made them ride quite dry.<br /><br />Steury was somewhat of a regional (midwest) brand, yet had a strong following.
