[QUOTE="PsychoXP18CC, post: 444942, member: 11641"] Keep an eye on the weight of the rig if getting skinny is the primary goal. Sea Arks are built like tanks, the durability of them is great, but they tend to be heavier which will effect draft. If I remember correctly Sea Ark uses .125" for their hull, where a lot of other manufacturers use .100" which would make for a slightly lighter rig. Not trying to sway you away from the quality boat that is Sea Ark, just food for thought. Lots of old Alumacraft and Xpress rigs (.100") around here that have been beat on for many years and are still going strong. I haven't researched the actual weight difference, because an extra inch or so of draft isn't really a factor for me. Again, just food for thought if skinny is the goal. [/QUOTE]
