Default Runabouts: How do the brands rank.

Sorry for the double post - My fault.

Now I know that everyone will have their personal bias, and I don't want to
start another flame war here, but I'd wonder if there is some loose
consensus on what the pecking order is quality-wise of boat brands.

I'm new to looking at boats, and just got back from the boat show. I was
pretty overwhelmed by everything I saw there, and would like to get some
opinions on how the following rank, with regard to quality and price:

Sea Ray
Larson
Regal
Glastron
Four Winns
Ebbtide
Rinker
Stingray
Bayliner

The order I listed them is about what my impression is at this time. I have
been trying to find a benchmark boat on all of their websites to use to
compare prices, but can't seem to find a common config that lets me compare
apples to apples.

Thanks
