I just picked up an Alumacraft 1875 Competitor. Multiple manufacturers were in the mix as well as some nice used fiberglass rigs. Lund was the first boat disqualified high price point, didn't like the electronics platform, Crestliner was close but didn't like the factory trailer or the electronics platform, settled on Alumacraft, like the layout, double live wells, built in insulated cooler, cooler will keep two bags of ice for over two days, storage was equal to others, double rod box - I use telescoping rods so 7.5 to 8' is plenty. Trailer has up-scaled wiring with underwater lights for night loading and a built in ladder. Good price point. Passed on the used Skeeter tillers and other due to weight. Did not want to upgrade my tow vehicle and many of the Northern WI lakes and rivers I fish have poor launches. Unfortunately the older aluminum boats do not have the ammenities offered on the newer models. Good Luck
