Yeah. Looked at a Crossover XS. It was used, two years old. It was falling apart inside. I liked the layout, but it just felt cheap...

Trophy 175 is 1550# dry and 185 is 1780# dry (best I remember, might be slightly off). I think a 175 would suit my needs, but I guess...

How heavy is the Crestliner? I was thinking going 115 with the Trophy 175, which is $43,000. I worry that 115 is too small for an 18...
