My dad has a 16' Alumna Weld boat.This is our second year to use it and so far it has been an ok boat.What I mean by this is: the eye that is welded to the boatthat holds the clamp has partially come off. Although, the reason for this is probably because we hunt 2 times a week during the summer and fish about 2 times a week in the winter all year long. Besides this problem, the boat is a good one.
