[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 237299, member: 7376"] I haven't heard much good about the Grizzly boats in general...or Tracker for that matter. Speaking of aluminum boats exclusively. One thing I didn't like about WeldBilt is that the ribs are REALLY tall. If you decided to put a floor in it, the floors would be a good 4" off of the bottom of the boat, which reduces the floor-to-rail height. That also raises the center of gravity a little. I think Alumaweld has a 1448 with the lower height ribs, and knowing Alumaweld, the price is probably "right".........if you can find one. I don't recall seeing many 1448's. War Eagle doesn't make a 1448. Duracraft is gone. Might have a look at Lund and Alumacraft. I don't know about the pricing but both are good boats. I have spent some time in a 1448 riveted boat and loved it. VERY stable. That particular boat was a wide open floor. Deck on front, seat in back nothing in the middle. Very easy to move around in.
