[QUOTE="timebak, post: 223532, member: 6198"] Do NOT buy a Galaxy. You find those mostly down in the Gulf coast states. They were put out of business because of catastrophic hull failures and insufficient floatation. A lot of used Bumble Bee's have problems if they've been run much in rough waters. They're pretty lightly built. Tunnel hull 80's and 90's vintage Stratos boats are a total PITA to get set up correctly. They usually porpoise like crazy at most any cruising speed below wide open unless you have a hydraulic jack plate and a good trim system. Bomber boats had a really bad problem with water absorbing in the foam floatation and the transoms rotting out, but so did many other brands back in the 80's. [/QUOTE]
