[QUOTE="L Kenney, post: 418473, member: 21430"] I'm looking for a 12-14 ft aluminum boat and am inclined toward welded, rather than riveted boat like Gregor and Klamath (though I once had a Valco riveted that never leaked.) There are a number of Gregor and Klamath boats for sale used, but I also see a few Westerns. As I understand it Western, also welded, was sold to Klamath years ago but has a good reputation. The Gregors and Klamaths I'm looking at all have dropped transoms for 15" shaft motors while the Westerns' transoms are somewhat lower and straight across the stern. Can anyone offer me reasons why one or the other design is better? And any experience, good or bad, with any of these three boats? thanks, Larry [/QUOTE]
