Vectra boats...Are they any good

[Moulin6801]

Hey guys, I am shopping for my first boat, need to be small due to garage issues.
Have you heard/seen/ridden on the Vectra boats. They look nice on the their website, but even there, the photos are few and without details.
I have never seen one around here(North of Nashville) and they don't even have a dealer around...
There are 3 that look very nice, the Vectra 182 i/o , Vectra 172 and also a deckboat V 1900 that looked very nice also.
Thanks for any impute!!!

They are owned by the same folks as Smokercraft. Compete pretty much for the same market as Starcraft. But I think Starcraft has had more sales success with their fiberglass boats than Vectra/Smokercraft. My Smokercraft dealer does not carry the Vectra line, so I have not had a chance to check one out.

Thanks for any info on them!

Glastron has a whole lot more dealers. So they get more mention on these message boards -

Yes, I agree with you. Glastron has more dealers. But how about those Vectras boats. I am looking at almost new 18ft online, but I just never heard of them and doesn't look like anyone here ever owned one, or have they???
Thanks
