Family Values
What sort of a reviewer would spend 1500 words describing a boat
without using the word "quality" just once?
"Quality", like beauty, can be a fairly subjective value. A really
first class description of a boat would provide you enough information
to form your own opinion of overall quality.
FWIW, my opinion of the "quality" of this boat was that it is
adequately built to provide safe and comfortable service under the
conditions the average "family cruiser" will typically encounter. All
boats have shortcomings, including this one, but it does offer a lot of
boat for the buck. If you have a highly specialized primary use, (like
fishing, water skiing, etc) there are more specialized boats that would
perform better in those applications. The attractive aspect of a boat
like this will be, for many people, its ability to do several things
fairly well rather than one single thing exceptionally well.
