Thanks for the two pennies worth, will you accept a virtual pint instead.

I didn't put any price down as for me the modern designs are about the same cost just a few years in difference.

Only IMO but the new boats coming from Halberg Rhassey etc are as I would describe more towards traditional design (with the latest of materials etc.. of course).

We have in our budget to either go for a new'er modern (low cost high production lake boat - if you prefer) or an older traditional one (HalRass, Endurance etc...).

This thread has shed a lot of light on them and some misconceptions to the point of seriously looking at them.
