Does anybody have any experience with this type boat? Mostly interested in the 16ft or 17ft center console.

FP, I googled Alumacraft. Thats a sharp boat. Reminds me of an Xpress. 
Why don't you just get a Xpress?

I think BD has found some buried treasure on that plantation he works on. I wonder if he is spliting it with Reelslow

There was a nice aluminum boat for sale in an ad at Ali's Farmers Market. It was either an Alumacraft, or a Xpress.
I did not get the # but the price was only $9000.
Ali's is on the corner of Crump and Hwy 90E in Tallahassee. If I get back by there I'll try to get more info.
The boat looked good in the pic

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably stick with the Boston Whaler for another year or two, but thanks anyhoo!rocket wrote:There was a nice aluminum boat for sale in an ad at Ali's Farmers Market. It was either an Alumacraft, or a Xpress.

When you get ready for the Alumacraft, get with me. I have a friend who does a lot of business with me and he is a salesman for Alumacraft. He can save you a lot on a boat as he sales his demos every year. Look into their saltwater series MV tex boats. He has one now and trust me , it is rigged to the max!!!! You can look at a great selection of Alumacraft boats at Carters marine across from my store in Adel. Those guys do a great job and their service is second to none. Theyve got a couple of salt series boats there now. Also, I would take a serious look at an E-tec motor instead of the Yammi. I run an Opti on my boat but I can assure you my next motor will be an E-tec. They are lighter, more efficient, stronger and cost about the same. Darron @ Carters can give you a free DVD on the E-tec. Trust me, once you see the video, you'll want to run one. Good Luck!!
